Roman Candles
You were a friend of mine
When I worked twice a week on the weekends
Two teenage dirtbags
And I know that it's different now
And I heard you moved out where the lake never freezes
I'm not mad, I just don't really see it
Yeah, you were a friend of mine
Now I'm working the night shift on Beatrice
And I go to bed to rise
And I play with this local band
And the money is shit but I've got somewhere to sleep at night
And I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Watching you light it up
From a north end parking lot
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
'Cause I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Watching you light it up
From a north end parking lot
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
Now where do I put this all down?
I carry it high in my chest
Tastes like blood in the mouth
And when the gun powder's all rung out
I'll bury it deep in the dirt
Raise my glass to the ground
To the lowly dirtbags
And I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Watching you light it up
From a north end parking lot
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
'Cause I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Watching you light it up
From a north end parking lot
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
I'm just setting off Roman candles
I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Watching you light it up
And I know you're gonna light it up
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
When I worked twice a week on the weekends
Two teenage dirtbags
And I know that it's different now
And I heard you moved out where the lake never freezes
I'm not mad, I just don't really see it
Yeah, you were a friend of mine
Now I'm working the night shift on Beatrice
And I go to bed to rise
And I play with this local band
And the money is shit but I've got somewhere to sleep at night
And I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Watching you light it up
From a north end parking lot
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
'Cause I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Watching you light it up
From a north end parking lot
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
Now where do I put this all down?
I carry it high in my chest
Tastes like blood in the mouth
And when the gun powder's all rung out
I'll bury it deep in the dirt
Raise my glass to the ground
To the lowly dirtbags
And I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Watching you light it up
From a north end parking lot
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
'Cause I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Watching you light it up
From a north end parking lot
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
I'm just setting off Roman candles
I'm just stuck in this town I can't handle
Watching you light it up
And I know you're gonna light it up
While I'm just setting off Roman candles
