Old Tavern

from American Nightmare by City Of Vain

lyrics

Davey crawls outta bed this morning
To a place that feels so foreign
He grits his teeth and lights a smoke
Drags his finger across his throat
With a bed full of piss and a head full of lead
Wishing to himself he'd be better off dead
A losing streak week after week
All meds gone stright to his head

Neon signs and little white lines
Well you better watch your back cause the citys got eyes
No here the bars never set high
Old Tavern, Drunk and High
A place where dreams come to die!

Well its two o'clock and he's done it again
Stranded on the corner of 7th and N
When will he learn, that he's been burned
abandonded at sea on the American Tern
Pleading with himself to put it all behind
The two faced motherfucker's are standing in line
To do his drugs, free tattoos
Squatting at his house while consuming his booze

Neon signs and little white lines
Well you better watch your back cause the citys got eyes
No here the bars never set high
Old Tavern, Drunk and High
A place where dreams come to die!

You've got your drunks theives and heretics
Johnny in the corners a heroin addict
Pushers, Punks, and hipster cliques
5 bags in the back trying to hump a chick
