lyrics

I Remember Crescent City

A long white bridge, over and back again
talking to God and the heat's turned off
and it’s been like that for days
and all we can do is wait
a vacant lot and my voice is shot
from screaming at the world at the top of my lungs
it’s like a bomb went off in this place
and all I can do is wait…

waking up it was a strange bed
a priest was holding my hand

I raised my drink and collapsed at your feet
you said you weren’t, but I know
that you were ashamed,
you were ashamed
an somebody left then somebody came
at the end of it all it’s always
something else again
always something else again

remember staring into your face
it could have been for 5 days

I remember Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…
Say a prayer for Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…

and my footsteps fall on secrets
and no one will believe them

I remember Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…
Say a prayer for Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…

There’s a long white bridge over and back again
God won’t talk and someone’s jumped off
and it’s been like that for days
and all we can do is wait
an there’s an empty lot and my voice is shot
from screaming at the world from the top of my lungs
it’s like a bomb went off in this place
and all we can do is wait….

remember staring into your face
it could have been for 9 days

I remember Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…
Say a prayer for Crescent City!
I couldn’t forget it if you let me…
I remember Crescent City.
