Firewater Bourbon And Division Lyrics

Bourbon And Division Lyrics

On the corner of Bourbon & Division 



Crawling down the crooked streets at dawn



She said: don't come back, all is not forgiven 



So you fall inside a bottle and a song 



Splinters of thought dropping slowly 



Snapping like branches in the wind 



So you light a dog-end smoke 



And you're laughing as you choke 



And you give the wheel of fortune one more spin 



 



Do you remember what you came here for? 



Her words of wisdom scratched into the door 



You can almost taste the emptiness 



Hung inside her tallow dress 



Can the darkness be as empty as it seems 



When the factories of night hum with their dreams? 



And you watch a skinny dog cut across that dusty lot 



Like the surface of the moon 



 



In the decompression chamber 



Cooling in the conversation pit 



Sleeping underneath yesterday's papers 



And pretending the tsunami hasn't hit 



Friday was the crucifixion 



Saturday cremation under glass 



The Resurrection was on Sunday 



No, correction, make it Monday 



'Cause Monday's when they come to take the trash 



 



Do you remember what you came here for? 



Her words of wisdom cut into the door 



You can almost taste the emptiness 



Hung inside her tallow dress 



Can the darkness be as empty as it seems 



When the factories of night hum with their dreams? 



And you watch a skinny dog cut across that dusty lot 



Like the surface of the moon
