Homecoming

Lyrics

My heart is beating from me
 I am standing all alone
 Please call me only if you are coming home
 Waste another year flies by
 Waste a night or two
 You taught me how to live
 ♪
 In the streets of shame
 Where you've lost your dreams in the rain
 There's no signs of hope
 The stems and seeds of the last of the dope
 There's a glow of light
 The Saint Jimmy is the spark in the night
 Bearing gifts and trust
 A fixture in the city of lust
 What the hell's your name?
 What's your pleasure, what is your pain?
 Do you dream too much?
 Do you think what you need is a crutch?
 ♪
 In the crowd of pain
 St. Jimmy comes without any shame
 He says, "We're fucked up, but we're not the same
 And Mom and Dad are the ones you can blame"
 Jimmy died today
 He blew his brains out into the bay
 In the state of mind
 It's my own private suicide
 ♪
 Well, nobody cares
 Well, nobody cares
 Does anyone care if nobody cares?
 Well, nobody cares
 Well, nobody cares
 Does anyone care if nobody cares?
 Jesus filling out paperwork now
 At the facility on East 12th Street
 He's not listening to a word now
 He's in his own world and he's daydreaming
 He'd rather be doing something else now
 Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly
 His life's on the line with anxiety now
 'Cause she had enough and he had plenty
 Somebody get me out of here
 Anybody get me out of here
 Somebody get me out of here
 Get me the fuck right out of here
 So far away, I don't want to stay
 Get me outta here right now
 I just want to be free, is there a possibility?
 Get me out of here right now
 Out, out
 Out, out (right)
 This life like dream ain't for me
 ♪
 I fell asleep while watching Spike TV
 After ten cups of coffee and you're still not here
 Dreaming of a song, but something went wrong
 And you can't tell anyone, 'cause no one's here
 Left me here alone and I should've stayed home
 After ten cups of coffee, I'm thinking
 (Where'd you go?) Nobody likes you, everyone left you
 (Where'd you go?) They're all out without you, havin' fun
 (Where'd you go?) Everyone left you, nobody likes you
 (Where'd you go?) They're all out without you, havin' fun
 (Where'd you go, go, go, go?)
 Jeez

 Ha
 I got a rock 'n' roll band
 I got a rock 'n' roll life
 I got a rock 'n' roll girlfriend
 And another ex-wife
 I got a rock 'n' roll house
 I got a rock 'n' roll car
 I play the shit out the drums
 And I can play the guitar
 I got a kid in New York
 I got a kid in the Bay
 I haven't drank or smoked nothin' in over 22 days
 So get off my case, off of my case
 Off of my case
 ♪
 Hey!
 ♪
 Here they come marching down the street (ooh, ooh-ooh)
 Like a desperation murmur of a heartbeat (ooh, ooh-ooh)
 Coming back from the edge of town
 Underneath their feets
 Their time has come, and it's going nowhere (ooh, ooh-ooh)
 Nobody ever said that life was fair now (ooh, ooh-ooh)
 Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
 In the summer heat
 The world is spinning 'round and 'round out of control again
 The 7-11 to the fear of breaking down
 So send my love a letterbomb, and visit me in Hell
 We're the ones going
 ♪
 Home
 We're coming home again
 Home
 We're coming home again
 I started fucking running as soon as my feet touched ground
 We're back in the barrio and to you and me, that's Jingletown
 That's home
 We're coming home again
 Home
 We're coming home again
 Home
 We're coming home again
 Home
 We're coming home again
 Home
 We're coming home again
 Home
 We're coming home again
 Home
 We're coming home again
 Home
 We're coming home again
 Nobody likes you
 Everyone left you
 They're all out without you
 Havin' fun
