City at Eleven

He hung everything he had up on The Rainbows.
It was the only game left that's on that late.
The kid that does collections will cut you into ribbons
And sprinkle you on popcorn for the pigeons.

The sure things can go wild at the last moment.
True love can turn and run you off the road.
If you chalk it up to luck then you're basically admitting
You don't put much faith in your decisions.

They kick off in the city at eleven
But in Hawaii it's the middle of the day.
The massacres hurt way less than the close ones.
The trash along the beach along the bay.

The saints were all more human than holy.
His laugh will often crash into a cough.
Spent an awful lot of time turning money into wine
Trying to sell the truth back to the cause.

They always try to hide out in the dead space.
The soldiers pick up speed out in the plains states.
Had a friend who got burned out there in Sheridan Wyoming.
The chemicals flared up into his face.

The words mean less each time you repeat them.
Disassociate from what they represent.
All those friendly ghosts tend to have the one thing in common.
They couldn't really cope with how it went.

Can't see it when they cut to commercials
But there's trash along the beach along the bay.
They kick off in the city at eleven in the evening
In Hawaii it's the middle of the day.

The saints were all more human than holy.
4th quarter and The Warriors look dead.
The kid that does collections will cut you into ribbons
But a Cinderella story has a couple different versions.
The Tigers get a touchdown on an island in the ocean
And he's trying to do the numbers in his head.
