Sold Out
lyrics
he's there in the dark
the back of the room
sipping on whiskey
licking his wounds
the laundry's out
the gangs all here
it burns just a little
when the bar room cheers
well its not his song
and the story's all wrong
got a metronome heart
ticking like a timebomb
a year and change
a fistful of pounds
and he quietly curses
that he can't stand the sound
he's gone
he's gone
he's gone where the scars won't show
well he's gone where the flowers won't grow
well he's gone where the boat won't row
i said he's gone to jericho
he's gone to jericho
two time Tami gonna whisper down the wind
i'll play forgetful and you confess your sins
sitting in the dark drinking overpriced wine
when you ain't exactly paying, you don't exactly mind
wine kept coming til the sun was almost up
the silence punctuated when the dog throw up
somethings are best kept close to the vest
give what you will and just bury the rest
she's gone
she's gone
she's gone where the scars won't show
she's gone where the flowers won't grow
she's gone where the boat won't row
i said she's gone to jericho
she's gone to jericho
met him in saint Patrick's asleep in a pew
he left Cincinnati when he blew his cool
there's a cop down there can't walk anymore
but if you ask little Eddie he'll say he earned it in the war
poor saint Linda in a pub downtown
spilling cheap tequila on her wedding gown
somebody asked how'd you end up like this
she raised up her glass and blew us all a kiss
she's gone
she's gone
she's gone where the scars won't show
she's gone where the flowers won't grow
she's gone where the boat won't row
i said she's gone to jericho
she's gone to jericho
I paid for my breakfast with pocket change
saw a bit of jesus in each coffee stain
you can't go home when everythings changed
i held up my cup and asked for more of the same
i got a ten dollar suit and a rest room shave
i got to get moving while i've some soul left to save
gonna go somewhere where i'll carry no blame
i won't have no baggage and i won't need no name
i'm gone
i'm gone
I'm gone where the scars won't show
I'm gone where the flowers won't grow
I'm gone where the boat won't row
i said I'm gone to jericho
I'm gone to jericho
