|
Some of my old friends say I'm self possessed |
|
I hope you don't mind if I get something off my chest |
|
Between you and me I only go out at night |
|
Sunlight in my eyes just makes me uptight |
|
In the backroom we be drinking all night |
|
We be living in a vacuum |
|
We be looking for a fight |
|
In the backroom we be drinking all night |
|
We be running out of headroom |
|
We be looking for a fight |
|
Crowd was thinning out |
|
And he came through the door |
|
I look right at him |
|
He looks at the floor |
|
Awkward glances catch the thread long ago |
|
I'm seeing red |
|
Does your sister dress you up |
|
Does the devil know you're dead |
|
I don't know if Gabriel keeps a place for me |
|
I still want to go to heaven & see what I can see |
|
I don't want to have St Peter close the gate on me |
|
I still want to get to heaven & be what I can be |
|
We had moved to the place |
|
I heard them say 'Last Call' |
|
I stepped over all of them |
|
And walked on down the hall |
|
The man says not to wait for judgment |
|
It comes everyday |
|
Absolution at a price |
|
And we all have to pay |
|
In the backroom we be drinking all night |
|
We be living in a vacuum |
|
We be looking for a fight |
|
In the backroom we be drinking all night |
|
We be running out of headroom |
|
We be looking for a fight |
|
I don't know if Gabriel keeps a place for me |
|
I still want to go to heaven & see what I can see |
|
I don't want to have St Peter close the gate on me |
|
I still want to get to heaven & be what I can be |

Shoo sha doo |

Shoo sha doo |

Shoo |
|
(We be drinking all night) |
|
In the backroom we be drinking all night |
|
We be living in a vacuum |
|
We be looking for a fight |
|
In the backroom we be drinking all night |
|
We be running out of headroom |
|
We be looking for a fight |
