Roman Candles - Gengahr

You were a friend of mine

When I worked twice a week on the weekends

Two teenage dirt bags

And I know that it’s different now

I heard you moved out where the lake never freezes

I’m not mad I just don’t really see it

You were a friend of mine

Now I’m working the night shift on Beatrice

And I go to bed to rise

And I play with this local band

And the money is shit but I’ve got somewhere to sleep at night

And I’m just stuck in this town I can’t handle

Watching you light it up

From a north end parking lot

While I’m just setting off roman candles

And I’m just stuck in this town I can’t handle

Watching you light it up

From a north end parking lot

While I’m just setting off roman candles

Now where do I put this all down?

I carry it high in my chest

Tastes like blood in the mouth

And when the gun powders all rung out

I’ll bury it deep in the dirt

Raise my glass to the ground

To the lowly dirt bags

And I’m just stuck in this town I can’t handle

Watching you light it up

From a north end parking lot

While I’m just setting off roman candles

And I’m just stuck in this town I can’t handle

Watching you light it up

From a north end parking lot

While I’m just setting off roman candles
