Front Street
Ain't no place for a boy, who
Likes to talk ways that boys do
Unstrung
Young, dumb
Comfortably numb
I am
Old as the star who bears you
Black as the bitch who wears you
Tears you
Rips you apart and then turns it around
Come on feel me
I ain't only one
When it comes apart
We're gonna have some fun, son
Give me five minutes
With your sweetest sweet tea
If she's as fine as your missus
Then she's fine enough for me
A rod out the window
A suburban street
And I ain't slept since Monday
Jump in and ride
We got deadlines to meet
People to use
Lovers to break
Handful of pills
No life to take
River too cold
Oven too hot
Bridge a one hundred and fifty foot drop
But there was a day I could say
That I loved you
Early one evening I cut through Longview
Lifted you up
Then you turned it around
Here on Front Street
All the good girls and their boys know
Down in the mine there are diamonds
Down on the street walk the lifeless
And now I know that you're through with me
Can I tell you, my love, dead honestly?
Life is shame and your hands are stained
Walk in chains and change your name
Go where you go
But forget me not
Take a memory too
If it's all you got
Chase your pain with a shot of rain
Dig with a spade or a razor blade
Come on feel me now
I ain't only one
When it comes apart
We're gonna have some fun, son
Come on feel me now
I ain't only one
When it comes apart
We're gonna have some fun, son
We're gonna have some fun, son
We're gonna have some fun, son
We're gonna have some fun, son
Young, dumb, comfortably numb
Give me five minutes
Give me five minutes
With your sweetest sweet tea
If she's as fine as your missus
Then she's fine enough for me
