Head start on a frozen night we'll trickle slow down blighted street ways and mix our crunching footsteps with our ever-rougher laughs.
Grab a drink too tired for sleeping. Work weeks pile up, getting deep and I don't think apartment walls can contain us one more night.
So save a drink for me, and meet me out on Longstaff Street
I've got all night and an axe to grind You've got a case of cold friends and a troubled mind so let's pace this neighborhood. Pull up my roots, we'll untangle yours from Knowles Street, right on Marshall walk and drink for hours 'til we sink that slant street moon
Transplants grafted to this town we'll spread roots in these downer regrets and spill our gravel laughter on the sidewalks with these beers.
South, back home, a handful got it: rotten nights pave paths to coffins I don't know how many steps it'll take to cool our heels.
So grab a drink for me and we'll go walking Longstaff Street
We've got these drinks, we can disappear into a slant street night where no one'll hear how ****** up these days become. I still think back on Emerson Park that Summer night we fled from the cops through the dark when the Russell Street traffic hums...
