Lyrics We Are Augustines

We Are Augustines

Augustine

Fell asleep with a cigarette

To the flicker of a TV set

No one saw you wave your white flag

No one saw your family photo album

Never saw your family photo album

Fought some battles and we lost the war

And there's ashtrays all on the floor

"The city ain't beat me yet" he said

To the flicker of a TV set

To the blue light of a TV set

I'm takin' ya home

Hang up the phone

We'll listen to radio

Keep your head up kid

I know you can swim

But ya gotta move your legs

I'm takin' ya home

Hang up the phone

We'll listen to radio

Keep your head up kid

I know you can swim

But ya gotta move your legs

The leaves are fallin' off the trees

There's children playin' in the street

Have you lost your will to see straight?

Well to hell with New York City then,

New York City can go to hell

I'm takin' ya home

Hang up the phone

We'll listen to radio

Keep your head up kid

I know you can swim

But ya gotta move your legs

I'm takin' ya home

Hang up the phone

We'll listen to radio

Keep your head up kid

I know you can swim

But ya gotta move your legs

Fell asleep with a cigarette

To the flicker of a TV set

No one saw you wave your white flag

No one saw your family photo album

Never saw your family photo album

I'm takin' ya home

Turn off the phone

We'll listen to radio

Keep your head up kid

I know you can swim

But ya gotta move your legs

I'm takin' ya home

Turn off the phone

We'll listen to radio

Keep your head up kid

I know you can swim

But ya gotta move your legs
