HomecomingI. THE DEATH OF ST. JIMMYMy heart is beating from me,I am standing all alone,Please call me only if you are coming home,Waste another year flies by,Waste a night or two,You taught me how to live.In the streets of shame,Where you've lost your dreams in the rain,There's no sign of hope,The stems and seeds of the last of the dope,There's a glow of light,The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night,Bearing gifts and trust,The fixture in the city of lustWhat the hells your name,What's your pleasure and what's your pain?Do you dream too much?Do you think what you need is a crutch?In the crowd of pain, St. Jimmy comes without any shame,He says "We're f**ked up",But we're not the same,And mom and dad are the ones you can blameJimmy died todayHe blew his brains out into the bay,In the state of mind in my own private suicideII. EAST 12TH STREETAnd nobody cares,And nobody cares,Does anyone care if nobody cares?,And nobody cares,And nobody cares,Does anyone care if nobody cares?,Jesus is filling out paperwork now,At the facility on east 12th st,He's not listening to a word now,He's in his own world,And he's daydreamingHe'd rather be doing something else now,Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly,His life's on the line with anxiety now,And she had enough,And he's had plentySomebody get me out of here,Anybody get me out of here,Somebody get me out of here,Get me the f**k right out of hereSo far away,I don't want to stay, Get me outta here right now,I just wanna be free,Is there a possibility,Get me out of here right now,This life like dream ain't for me.III. NOBODY LIKES YOUI fell asleep while watching Spike TV,After 10 cups of coffee,And you're still not here,Dreaming of a song,But something went wrong,and I can't tell anyone,'Cus no one's hereLeft me here alone,When I should have stayed home,After 10 cups of coffee,I'm thinking,Where'd you go?Nobody likes you,Everyone left you,They're all out without you,Havin' fun,Everyone left you,Nobody likes you,They're all out without you,Havin' fun,Where'd you go?IV. ROCK 'N' ROLL GIRLFRIENDI got a rock and roll band,I got a rock and roll life,I got a rock and roll girlfriend,And another ex-wifeI got a rock and roll house,I got a rock and roll car,I play the shit out the drums,And I can play the guitarI got a kid in New York,I got a kid in the Bay,I haven't drank or smoked nothin',In over 22 days,So get off of my caseOff of my case.Off. Of. My. Case.V. WE'RE COMING HOME AGAINHere they come marching down the street,Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat,Coming back from the edge of town,Underneath their feetThe time has come and it's going nowhere,Nobody ever said that life was fair now,Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear,In the summer heatThe world is spinning around and around,Out of control again,From the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down,So send my love a letterbomb,And visit me in hell,We're the ones goingHome.We're coming home again [x2]I started f**kin' running,Just as soon as my feet touch ground,We're back in the barrio,But to you and me, that's jingletownHome.We're coming home again,Nobody likes you,Everyone left you,They're all out without you,Having fun.
