Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends |

I. The Death of St. Jimmy
My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me onle if you are coming home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
You taugh 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 lust
"What the hell's your name?"
What's your pleasure and what's you 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 fucked up"
But we're not the same
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame
Jimmy died today
He blew his brains out into the bay
In the state of mind
In my own private suicide
II. East 12th St.
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
And nobody cares and nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
Jesus 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 daydreaming
He'd rather be doing something else now
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly
His life on the line with anxiety now
And she had enough, and he's had plenty
Somebody get me out of here
Anybody get me out of here
Somebody get me out of here
Get me the fuck right out of here
So far away I dont want to stay
Get me outta here right now
I just want to be free
Is there a possibility?
Get me out of here right now
This life like dream ain't for me
III. Nobody Likes You
I feel asleep while watching spike TV
After 10 cups of coffee
And you're still not here
Dreaming of a song
When something went wrong
But I can't tell anyone
'Cause you're not here
Left 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's left you
They're all out without you havin' fun
Nobody likes you
Everyone's left you
They're all out without you havin' fun
Where'd you go?
IV. Rock & Roll Girlfriend
I got a rock and roll band
I got a rock and roll life
I got a rock and roll girlfriend
And another ex-wife
I got a rock and roll house
I got a rock and roll car
I play the shit out of the drums
And I can play the guitar
I 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 case
V. We're Coming Home Again
Here they come marching down the street
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat
Coming back from the edge of town
Underneath their feet, the time has come
And it's going nowhere
Nobody ever said that life was fair
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
In the summer heat
The world is spinning aroun 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 going home
We're coming home again
I started fucking running
Just as soon as my feet touched the ground
We're back in the barrid
But to you and me, that's jingle town
Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you havin' fun |

Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I can remember the face
But I can't recall the name
Seems that she disappeared without a trace
Did she marry old what's his face
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face
But I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how Whatsername has been
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
The regrets are useless, in my mind
She's in my head
I must confess
The regrets are useless
From so long ago and In the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I'll never turn back time
Forgetting you, but not the time |
