lyrics

Springfield Springfield oh what is the deal
Is my shadow still on your wall
Well you'll sit in that booth til you're long in the tooth
Or til summer bleeds into fall

She's doing a bump behind Brewhaus
Sinatra says it's time to go
And I'm so full of hate that I can't see straight
I carry a hammer into the woods

New York New York you're on life support
I'm so bored with the Brookyln sound
I'd trade all of the trains to North White Plains
to watch everything burn to the ground

And we're slurring our speech down at Olive's
Yeah we're shutting down the bar
So I get in your suitcase
And go back to your place
And take all your lip gloss off

St. Louis St. Louis made naked and useless
In two trips around the sun
So goodbye babysitters
And goodbye to the glitter
You know it's so very hard to get off

And we're screaming down at Mangia
Yeah we're shutting down the bar
You know I was obsessed with
Getting undressed witih
All of the women I saw

"And my old man always told me
That hell would have no flames
Just a front row seat to watch your one true love
Pack her things
And drive
Away (-David Bazan)"
