lyrics

You spend all your money on your thrift store clothes
you're in Brooklyn baby better turn up your nose
I'm still wondering where the evening goes
I'm a bastard son, I'm the holy ghost

I went out walking through the late night freaks
where the night clubs neon hang;
flashing, free
and I knew I could find you amongst the thieves
somewhere down on Washington St.

Oh, you said it'd bring us both together
I know
that you're never coming home
I forgot that you were gone
but now you come around singing my song
I'm letting go so don't hang on

You think about the people that you used to know
how they covered their eyes
and let their hearts grow cold
when you left me standing in the fallin snow
with a ring in my hand and the answer, no

So don't go saying your a friend of mine
cause those days are lost in another time
and I'll be the one to put you in the ground
if I see your face come hanging around

Oh, you said it'd bring us both together
I know
that you're never coming home
I forgot that you were gone
but now you come around singing my song
I'm letting go so don't hang on
