Saint IX

About 5pm on Thursday night in Isla Vista
Leaves were falling down while we were setting up the yard
Speaker cabinets borrowed never grounded all the power
Didn't care too much what the neighbors would say

Saint IX Saint IX
You were always there to listen to the songs that I would bring
It was a scene it was the noise
Of everywhere I've been you were my favorite place to sing
Saint IX Saint IX
Together and misguided in that space we felt alive
The day you closed the doors a little piece of my life died

8 o'clock a stream of local punk rock kids and college rebels
Come rolling through with red cups, cigarettes and speed
They never bust up anything there was always a respect there
The outlaws and the intellects were having things their way

Saint IX Saint IX
You were always there to listen to the songs that I would bring
It was a scene it was the noise
Of everywhere I've been you were my favorite place to sing
Saint IX Saint IX
Together and misguided in that space we felt alive
The day you closed the doors a little piece of my life died

Late nights turned into mornings Riff Raff My Ass THO
We were unapologetic we had youth we had the spirit
Tell me now where did it go?

Faced death and faced hardship but we faced it all together
Not sure where most of you are right now
A cool evening breeze off the ocean still reminds me
Of the community that danced in circles on the lawn

Over at Saint IX Saint IX
You were always there to listen to the songs that I would bring
It was a scene it was the noise
Of everywhere I've been you were my favorite place to sing
Saint IX Saint IX
Together and misguided in that space we felt alive
The day you closed the doors a little piece of my life died
