The Best Little Heroin Spoon In America

from Still Life by The New Warden

/

lyrics

Shithole by any other name wouldn't fit these streets
bad habits bequeathed from generation to generation
through cracks in concrete
while a failing heart works beneath the city

Spoken in silent nods and shifting eyes
empty words making a pathetic excuse for small town pride
One day I know the tide will
Wash it all away
I'm sure that the land will thank the water for the favor
of sinking the peninsula to the ocean floor

Familiar egos entrenched since delinquents
roamed these streets and called them home
with the archaic sense that we own
that which we were born into
responsible for the mess that grew
I'm not exempt from the rules
just ashamed that I'm a part of you

Wash it all away
I'm sure that the land will thank the water for the favor
of sinking the peninsula to the ocean floor

We all suffer from fairly regular delusions
of mediocrity and hopes that we might leave
our little towns behind with no record of our lies

I'll see you all on the ocean floor
