Strangling this guitar by the window
Waiting for the sunshine to go away
A cigarette burns down in the ashtray
This one might be my last, whos to say
Strike up the band
And play me out tonight

Strike up the band
Play me out tonight
Tomorrow i'll be gone and that's alright
Because tomorrow i'll be gone
And that's alright
♪
Well i think of how far i've come
What i've done and who's to blame
Yeah i've hurt the ones i love
Ain't that a shame
I can't face this
With only booze and nicotine
I need something stronger
In my routine
Strike up the band
And play me out tonight
Strike up the band
Play me out tonight
Tomorrow i'll be gone and that's alright
Because tomorrow i'll be gone
And that's alright
♪
Yeah, bury me in my jacket
Just like we used to say
When we were young punks
But i feel the same way, today
And i've lived and died
On balconies
I've loved and lost
In hotel rooms
From this apartment window
I'll kiss goodbye to the moon
Strike up the band
And play me out tonight
Strike up the band
Play me out tonight
Tomorrow i'll be gone and that's alright
Tomorrow i'll be gone and that's alright
So now it's leather and flowers and no goodbye
Now it's leather and flowers and no goodbye
Now it's leather and flowers and no goodbye
Now it's leather and flowers and no goodbye
