Homecoming

[part 1 - the death of st. jimmy]

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 st. jimmy is the spark in the night
bearing gifts and trust
the fixture in the city lost
what the hells your name
whats your pleasure and whats 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 fuc*** 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

[part 2 - east 12th st.]

and nobody cares
and nobody cares
does anyone care if nobody cares?
well nobody cares, well nobody cares
jesus filling out paperwork now
at the facility on east 12th st.
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 on the line with anxiety now
and she had enough
and he had pleanty

somebody get me out of here
anybody get me out of here
somebody get me out of here
get me the f*** right out of here
so far away
i don't want to stay
get me out of here right now
i just wanna be free
is there a possibility?
get me out of here right now
this lifelike dream aint for me

[part 3 - nobody likes you!]

I fell asleep watching spike tv
after 10 cups of coffee
and your still not here

dreaming of a song
when something went wrong
but i cant tell anyone
cause you're not
left me here alone
when i should have stayed home
after 10 cups of coffee
i'm thinking where'd you go

nobody likes you, everyone left you
they're all out without you having fun
everyone left you, nobody likes you
they're all out without you having fun
Where'd you go?

[part 4 - rock & roll girlfriend]

Geez...
I got a rock and roll band
i got a rock and roll life
i got a rock and roll girlfriend
and another ex-wife
i got a rock and roll house
i got a rock and 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

[part 5 - we're coming home again]

Here they come marching down the street
like a desperation murmur of a heart beat
coming back from the edge of town
underneath their feet
the time has come and its going nowhere
nobody ever said that life was fair now
go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
in the summer heat
the world is spinning
round and round
out of control again
from 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 fuckin' running
just as soon as my feet touched the ground
we're back in the barrio
but to you and me, that's jingle town
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
home
we're coming home again

Nobody likes you
everyone left you
they're all out without you having fun
