Lyrics

[02 :06.678] there may be wine and roses
[00:09.490] I used to your favorite drunk
[00:12.200] good for one more laugh
[00:13.300] then we both ran out of luck
[00:15.300] luck was all we ever had
[00:17.488] you put on a uniform
[00:19.498] to fight the civil war
[00:22.567] you looked so good I didn't care
[00:25.345] what side you're fighting for
[00:26.678] it wasn't all that easy
[00:29.123] when you up and walked away
[00:31.123] but I'll save that little story
[00:33.987] for another rainy day
[00:36.567] I know the burden's heavy
[00:38.789] as you wheel it through the night
[00:40.987] some peopel say it's empty
[00:42.987] but that don't mean it's light
[01:03.567] you left me with the dishes
[01:06.567] and a baby in the bath
[01:07.876] you're tight with the militias
[01:10.567] you wear their camouflage
[01:12.456] you always said we're equal
[01:14.456] so let me march with you
[01:15.789] just an extra in the sequel
[01:18.987] to the old red white and blue
[01:22.567] baby don't tiginre me
[01:23.789] we were smokers we were friends
[01:26.789] forget that tired story
[01:28.789] of betrayal and revenge
[01:30.123] I see the ghost of culture
[01:32.567] with numbers on his wrist
[01:34.876] salute some new conclusion which all of us have missed
[01:57.567] I cried for you this morning
[01:59.456] and I'll cry for you again
[02:02.456] but I'm not in charge of sorrow
[02:04.789] so please don't ask me when
[02:10.456] and magnums of champagne
[02:11.789] but we'll never no we'll never
[02:13.567] ever be that drunk again
[02:22.987] the party's over
[02:25.456] but I've landed on my feet
[02:28.789] I'll be standing on this corner
[02:35.678] where there used to be a street
