For Good Again

Intro: Gather around you people now to the tale that I tell About the last time my friend moved he decided to move to hell They call it Creslawn California down there USA For God and his wisdom burned it down one beautiful day He could not sleep for restlessness, downtown he went Where he ran into some rednecks looking to sexually experiment Me and this man had a band once and we were called The Shapes You probably never heard of us and that really is okay We drank and we threw up sometimes we practiced and played Our drummer couldn't figure out whether he was straight or he was gay We went on tour within walking distance of our house Maybe that is why no one knew what our sound was all about Thats why I say gather around you people now Get your money out to lend We're all leaving town for good again For good again We drink up at the high school by the stairs on the hill Everything looked beautiful with enough booze and pills It was nice to know that no one in their right mind would drop by Just bitch about some bull now and the lights lit up the sky You'd never understand the things my friend Eric put us through He had this Powepoint presentation about this girl he want to do Well now we were all such assholes but who was keeping score Most the people who still hate us they don't live here anymore Thank God I don't live here anymore Thats why I say gather around you people now Get your money out to lend We're all leaving town for good again For good again We lived in the house and it was down on Lincoln street We payed the bills now and they turned out the heat I lived up in the attic right above the bathroom When I could pay my rent-man illegal drugs thats exactly what I do We barbecued in that alley until pa poisoned me with raw meat Sometimes I come home at 4 AM and go face down in the streets It was a low level existence thats what you proper people'd say But I wrote songs in that attic that I now get paid to play So if you don't like people who live in attics now might be the time to say Cuz' everybody who is anybody, in my opinion, at one time lived in somebody's hallway Thats why I say gather around you people now Get your money out to lend We're all leaving town for good again For good again Thats why I say gather around you people now Get your money out to lend We're all leaving town for good again For good again (3x)
