lyrics

rolled a smoke with the window cracked
im sneaking out tonight
my old man he's always drunk by eight
he won't hear the door latch shut behind me
and i wrote down when the transbay comes and i got a dime for the till
and i'll take that ride up the frontage road to the barbed wire hills and the stop where we meet up
we share a smoke as the fog rolls out over the city lights
show me ur favorite scars and bruises with a flashlight and i'll show u mine

slow nights shift at Rodeo Grill
refinery moon overhead
$2.50 fare for the transbay bus
ride past the prison again
i aint got no letters since they threw u in and when i try to call thru to the cellblock they just let it ring
blood rush thru my ears i feel every lurch
they patch up that fence more than the road and the air here stinks to hell
cut off by 17 locked doors
and they try to tell me that u just haven't sent anything at all

i see the gleaming outer walls
when the spotlight glances out my way from ur side
and u used to tell me that nothings gonna change
cant stop myself from asking how bout now? how bout now? how bout now?

i keep a picture of ur face
i hate the way that everything has changed
the hills all empty lots and concrete walls
i get home late and smell like smoke and greet the weight that settles in my chest
my alarm's for dawn, no point taking these days off
