Lyrics
Somewhere, someone's singing songs written for the dead
Cemeteries fill up faster than you can shake your head
These ghosts walk the streets every night, not just Halloween
Screaming their legacy for the neighborhood to hear
You can always hear them best this time of year
Autumn leaves are leaving
Wooden skeletons behind a dark blue sky
It makes me remember September of '89
The first time I played with matches
Sometimes reflections lie, who's the old man in the mirror?
I drank too much tonight, everything's getting clearer
I see my enemies and friends two seats across from me
Screaming their threats at me that only I can hear
There's more shit talk in this bar than beer
Autumn leaves are leaving
Wooden skeletons behind a dark blue sky
It makes me remember September of '89
The first time I played with matches
I'm sorry, Richmond, for burning down your expectations
You should have realized the ramifications
You knocked me down too many times now
I'm not falling for your tricks again
I'm playing for keeps, I'm playing to win
Autumn leaves are leaving
Wooden skeletons behind a dark blue sky
It makes me remember September of '89
The first time I played with matches
