It's a new kind of empty A beach town in the Fall It's new kind of silent Counting cracks in the wall There's no one left to call And I'm locked in a jail cell so It's a quarter past three I can make out the weather on the lobby TV It's gonna rain this week But I'm a pair of black eyes That just got my ass kicked in the glow of an exit sign And the cops got some friendly advice Says, "You don't want problems With the crew that runs with those guys" Bloodied up in a bar fight ♪ And no one's pressing charges I should get out by ten The bartender said I was defending a friend Yea, they jumped a guy I paint houses with And the cops all got questions "Is there somewhere you could stay?" I wore out my welcome at mom's place in May I don't know what she'd say And I don't talk to my sister much I think she's sick of my shit She lives up in Boston now Has a life with her husband and kid I try not to fuck with it 'Cause I'm a pair of black eyes That just got my ass kicked in the glow of an exit sign And the cops got some friendly advice Says, "I would skip town before I ran back into those guys" Bloodied up in a bar fight I can't bother mom I can't bother Catherine I can't breathe through my nose I think that it might be broken And I'm mastering the art of disappearing In the middle of the night Bloodied up in a bar fight
