lyrics

On a late night hung my head
in remorse for what I did
you did it right is what I said

but I can't fool me nor the rest
piling in those yellow cabs
driving through the black eye
of the city's face

& Chinese newsweeks blowing past
the sleeping bags of men in rags
a dreamer with a bottle by his side

I take the time to talk to you
to tell you yesterday's tomorrows taboos

Hear the screams of UFCs
the battles on the mat of dreams
and one more smoke before I go

soon enough
I will not dwell on things that would have not gone well
had I been a desperate man
more desperate than I am

I'd rather be a pauper than a prince
with crowns of my own fashion
fabricated from the dreams of dolls

I take the time to talk to you
to touch up yesterday's tomorrow's tattoos
