BRENDAN KELLY LYRICS

"Quincentuple Your Money"

There's a letter at my mother's house, came with a folded flag.
Said, "Right now, I'm coming home in a body bag."

It's a pride and a pain that are one and the same.
It's a burning cigarette and it's a horrible dream.
There's a man in an office going through files, and a woman who watches TV.
And she doesn't get the jokes told be late night talk show hosts,
But for some reason she laughs anyway.

There's this soap in my bathroom, and it's all covered in hairs.
There's this hope in my brain, and it's all covered in prayers.

And there's a girl in this town who doesn't know I exist.
There's a wounded sense of pride and a pain in my fist.
There's 12 empty bottles on this table tonight.
There's 4 lungs on fire and 4 burning eyes.

And something will explode, and someone will cry.
And I'm gonna run out and never turn around, oh,oh,oh.

There's a park in this city where I used to go,
But now it's covered with fences and cops and lightposts.
And I'd never go back even if it was the same,
But it kills me to know that it's changed.

There's these kids who have dreams, and these dreams that still grow
Until they get so fuckin' big that they explode.

And what's left in the smoke and the falling debris is grownups like them and losers like me.
What's left in the smoke and the falling debris is grownups like them and losers like me.

Grownups like them and losers like me,
Grownups like them and losers like me,
Yeah!

Tonight let's go walking down Clark Street
We'll look at the buildings that we've never seen.
We'll stop at the bar and pass out on this floor
Tomorrow we'll forget everything and we'll replay these days again.

Thanks to pedro for these lyrics
