Key To The City

I sat with the drunks and the speed freaks

And I watched all the drones strolling by

We sat on the street with our beers and our weed

And we blew our smoke up towards the sky

I said, "It's one hell of an evening"

With a smile and I kicked back my can

They shooed us away so we walked down a ways

And we did the same damn thing again

Now I got nothing to wait for

And I got nothing but time

So I'll swim in these streams

And warm these poor beaten insides

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Gimme the key to the city

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Gimme the key to the city

These Midwest eyes are dead tonight

This demon smile is aching to explode

Let's gather our bones

Our guts and our hearts

And scream so they'll

Hear us down in those parks

Under those trees where the pigs lurk and crawl

There are bonfires and parties that are fucking them all

They give it by the inch but they take it by the mile

It's one for the beating and two for the trial

They got nothing to wait for

And we got nothing but time

So I'll swim in these streams

Drown in these dirty streams till I die

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Gimme the key to the city

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Gimme the key to the city

These Midwest eyes are dead tonight

This demon smile is aching to explode

Let's burn out here a thousand miles from home

I ain't here to remember!

I ain't here to breakdown

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Gimme the key to the city

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme

Gimme the key to the city

These Midwest eyes are dead tonight

This demon smile is aching to explode

Let's burn out here a thousand miles from home

I know what I got

And I love what I know

Don't wait up
