"Homecoming"

My heart is beating from me

I am standing all alone

Please call me only if you are coming home

Waste another year flies by

Waste a night or two

You taught me how to live

In the streets of shame

Where you've lost your dreams in the rain

There's no signs of hope

The stems and seeds of the last of the dope

There's a glow of light

The Saint Jimmy is the spark in the night

Bearing gifts and trust

A fixture in the city of lust

What the hell's your name?

What's your pleasure, what is your pain?

Do you dream too much?

Do you think what you need is a crutch?

In the crowd of pain

St. Jimmy comes without any shame

He says, "We're fucked up, but we're not the same

And Mom and Dad are the ones you can blame"

Jimmy died today

He blew his brains out into the bay

In the state of mind

It's my own private suicide

Well, nobody cares

Well, nobody cares

Does anyone care if nobody cares?

Well, nobody cares

Well, nobody cares

Does anyone care if nobody cares?

Jesus filling out paperwork now

At the facility on East 12th Street

He's not listening to a word now

He's in his own world and he's daydreaming

He'd rather be doing something else now

Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly

His life's on the line with anxiety now

She had enough and he had plenty

Somebody get me out of here

Anybody get me out of here

Somebody get me out of here

Get me the fuck right out of here

So far away, I don't want to stay (La-la-la)

Get me outta here right now (La-la-la-la)

I just want to be free, is there a possibility? (La-la-la)

Get me out of here right now

Out, out

Out, out (right)

This lifelike dream ain't for me

I fell asleep while watching Spike TV

After ten cups of coffee and you're still not here

Dreaming of a song, but something went wrong

And you can't tell anyone, 'cause no one's here

Left me here alone

And I should've stayed home

After ten cups of coffee, I'm thinkin'

(Where'd you go?) Nobody likes you, everyone left you

(Where'd you go?) They're all out without you, havin' fun

(Where'd you go?) Everyone left you, nobody likes you

(Where'd you go?) They're all out without you, havin' fun

(Where'd you go, go, go, go?)

Jeez

Ha-

I got a rock 'n' roll band

I got a rock 'n' roll life

I got a rock 'n' roll girlfriend

And another ex-wife

I got a rock 'n' roll house

I got a rock 'n' roll car

I play the shit out the drums

And I can play the guitar

I got a kid in New York

I got a kid in the Bay

I haven't drank or smoked nothin' in over 22 days

So get off my case, off of my case

Off of my case

Hey!

Here they come marching down the street (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

Like a desperation murmur of a heartbeat (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

Coming back from the edge of town

Underneath their feets

Their time has come, and it's going nowhere (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

Nobody ever said that life was fair now (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear

In the summer heat

The world is spinning 'round and 'round out of control again

The 7-11 to the fear of breaking down

So send my love a letterbomb, and visit me in Hell

We're the ones goin'

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

I started fucking running as soon as my feet touched ground

We're back in the barrio and to you and me, that's Jingletown

That's home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home

We're coming home again

Home (No, fuck you, just go, I don't care)

We're coming home again (I don't, I don't know, I smashed my phone)

Nobody likes you

Everyone left you

They're all out without you

Havin' fun
