about

Don't be afraid of the mouse that jumps out of your pocket... screaming into the night...

lyrics

Don’t look back cos I won’t be there struggling to be heard
You can keep on screamin’ emptiness, you can choke on your last word
You’re callin me brother in between some other discussions about your fee
But I can’t see that you give two shits about me
Chorus:
And you know I’ve noticed that you’re getting old
And that conscience that begged at you to love has let go
I still believe there’s a friend inside if only you could cry
But I still expect you’ll be singin this when you go
And turn that final pint glass over and say goodbye

You pissed your pants and then you missed your chance to be locked up at twenty three
I remember your words on a greyhound bus: “Is this all that I can be?”
You were callin me brother in between some other discussions about your soul
Did you think this through? Did it creep on you or did the liquor just take its toll?
Chorus
…and if I’m still singin this when you go
I’ll turn that final pint glass over and say goodbye.
