lyrics

something about a pint glass breaking always makes your night go better; super-city face on the cover; a quick strike for a smart-ass stutter; tired shock from the last-ditch rockers; stock photos and broken deals; brash plans from late night talkers and beds made from bad ideas.

let's have a round for the truest kind of mania; You throw it down to bring it back - it's all in vain.

your resignation tendered, risen up the bottleneck; sell your blood & you're a lifelong member; whatever was, of course, has been; beyond ripe and into rotten; it's a hard sell but you've got all day; pretend you can't remember names.

and it's your chance to unload; this building's not to code; they're biding their time but they just keep you on.

something about a pint glass breaking always makes your night go better;
big city face on the cover; a quick strike for a smart-ass stutter; tired shock from the last-ditch rockers; stock photos and broken deals; a passing wave for the mild and the sane; convince the room you can't explain.

let's have a round for the truest kind of mania; you throw it down to bring it back - it's all in vain; and it's your chance to unload; this building's not to code; they're biding their time and they'll just keep you on; and you're on until you're gone; you're always on, and you're on until you're gone.
