Brave Men Hang from Rafters, Cowards Start Punk Bands

I've been haunting the bottom of this whiskey barrel
And forcing the footwork slightly out of time
Holding confession beneath the skirt
And bleeding out when bleeding out's been done to death

We can't get back
We never hit the high notes

I've been feeding
The revolver
Drinks all night long
And I know she'll take me home

We can't get back
We burned the bodies
And all the starlets left us long ago
We can't get back
We never hit the high notes
Screaming what we thought were love songs
We can't get back
We burned the bodies
All the starlets left us long ago
We can't get back
We never hit the high notes
Screaming what we thought were love songs

Give me safety
Give me shelter
Fuck it give me something stronger

I'm taking shots on the rooftop
The girls falling all at my feet
I'm counting stories on fingers
Falling for the first warm body I see
I'm taking shots on the rooftop
The girls fall at my feet
I'm counting stories on fingers
Falling for the first warm body I see

Gather cowards and sinners
For the punk rock swan song
Lead it to your bed, let it be your first
Define yourself in its moments
And prop up the idols and wait for the flood
In another time in another place when you see the faces look away

My name
Is a hollow word
My name
Is a hollow word
My name
Is a hollow word
My name
Is a hollow word
I'm giving it back
I'm giving it back
I'm giving it back
I'm giving it back
Give it back

Oh mother oh father
Oh mother oh father

Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting sun
Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting sun
Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting sun
Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting sun
Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting sun
Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting

Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting sun
Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting sun
Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting sun
Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting sun
Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting sun
Oh mother oh father
Sing a song for the setting sun
