The drunks are filing out the bars as they close
Who's to blame them for their liquored-up prose
They're shouting, half believing,
hollow emotion is true
The devil's orchard's telling souls to live
With neon advertisements, funds for kids
A sincere smile
makes it all worth trying to pursue
So hold on
Let's think about the now
I'm trying to compensate but just
Hold on
Consider what's found
Kids playing in the parking lot
The leaves are falling as an after thought
Some cold and airy feeling
seems to linger around
I take the last drag from a cigarette
Prolong a conversation I might forget
You frown then smile
saying that stuff's bad for you
