One of My Kind

I can't live in this city but I was born here I know all these people, where they went to high school Where they got their angle, where they waited tables Still call me brother like Cain and Abel There, see all those old men, how'd they get so swollen? I got too many broke friends who think I owe them From when we were children, how did it happen? Where is this going? Was that your question, man? Where does all your frustration lie? Why are you pulling out your hair at night? Let's try and have a good time All the rest aside You're still one of my kind I can't think in this city but I remember I know every story that it ever told me Well, I got the blueprint to create my own myth Had to make it tragic like a summer snowdrift, yeah I'm going to call my first love, meet her at the new club Tell her all that I've done, finally be forgiven We can get good and drunk like it feels when you're young When everything's against us, we will fight tooth and nail Stand in the sickening sunshine After staying out all night Yeah, honey, it's the good life All the rest aside The rest aside The rest aside You're still one of my kind I can't live in this city but I'll probably die here Maybe that's how you feel, like a poisoned cornfield Like a best friend backstabbed, an abandoned train track Travelling one straight line, no one of my kind! One of my kind
