For Good Again

Gather around you people now to the tale that I tell
 About the last time my friend moved he decided to move to hell
 They call it Creslawn California down there USA
 For God and his wisdom burned it down one beautiful day
 He could not sleep for restlessness, downtown he went
 Where he ran into some rednecks looking to experiment
 Me and this man had a band once and we were called The Shapes
 You probably never heard of us and that really is okay
 We drank and we threw up sometimes we practiced and played
 Our drummer couldn't figure out whether he was straight or he was gay
 We went on tour within walking distance of our house
 Maybe that is why no one knew what our sound was all about
 Thats why I say gather around you people now
 Get your money out to lend
 We're all leaving town for good again
 For good again
 ♪
 We drink up at the high school by the stairs on the hill
 Everything looked beautiful with enough booze and pills
 It was nice to know that no one in their right mind would drop by
 Just bitch about some bull now and the lights lit up the sky
 You'd never understand the things my friend Eric put us through
 He had this Powepoint presentation about this girl he want to do
 Well now we were all such fools but who was keeping score
 Most the people who still hate us they don't live here anymore
 Thank God I don't live here anymore
 Thats why I say gather around you people now
 Get your money out to lend
 We're all leaving town for good again
 For good again

 We lived in the house and it was down on Lincoln street
 We payed the bills now and they turned out the heat
 I lived up in the attic right above the bathroom
 When I could pay my rent-man illegal drugs thats exactly what I do
 We barbecued in that alley until pa poisoned me with raw meat
 Sometimes I come home at 4 AM and go face down in the streets
 It was a low level existence thats what proper people'd say
 But I wrote songs in that attic that I now get paid to play
 So if you don't like people who live in attics now might be the time to say
 Cuz' everybody who is anybody, in my opinion,
 At one time lived in somebody's hallway
 Thats why I say gather around you people now
 Get your money out to lend
 We're all leaving town for good again
 For good again
 Thats why I say gather around you people now
 Get your money out to lend
 We're all leaving town for good again
 For good again (3x)
