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
