Keasbey Nights
Streetlight Manifesto
Intro (with choke strumming)
(2x, second time with horns)
Verse
It was the summer of 95 (so what!)
In the backyard, shaving the old plies
Feeling so strong (strong!), something went wrong (wrong!)
Straight into my finger, what a stinger, it was so long
I still remember that day, like the day that I said that I swear
"I'll never hurt myself again", but it seems that I'm deemed
To be wrong, to be wrong, to be wrong
Gotta keep holding on... they always played a slow song.
Horns (no guitar)
Chorus
When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest
Singin' "My, my, my, how the time does fly,
When you know you're going to die by the end of the night." And said hey
Horn Riff
x3
Verse
I still remember when we were young and fragile then.
No one gave a shit about us because times were tougher then.
Feeling so good (good!) cruisin’ the hood (hood!)
Straight into the real world where rich kids never understood.
But I don't care, I can fade away to anywhere
Don't stop because you might get dropped,
And if you do who's going to pick you up
Well I won’t, well I won't... they always played a slow song.
Horn riff (2x, 1st 1x w/o guitar)
Chorus
When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest
Singin' "My, my, my, how the time does fly,
When you know you're going to die by the end of the night." And said hey
Horn Riff
x3
Horn Breakdown (3x, 1st 2x w/o guitar)
Chorus (3x, 1st 2x w/o guitar)
When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk
With a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest
Singin' "My, my, my, how the time does fly,
When you know you're going to die by the end of the night."
Outro
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
(cheers and stuff)
("It fuckin' stinks in here)
("Whoo-ee!)
