Garbage Day Acoustic by The Ike Reilly Assassination Lyrics
Hey now, whatcha gonna do when I come back to you?
When I come back to you, will you be sorry?
Hey now, everyone I meet makes me think of you
Makes me think of you, and I get so lonely
We took an off-ramp to a bluegrass jamboree
Just to kill some time and maybe get a drink
Heard those sweet harmonies and it make me feel blue
Made me think of you and I got so lonely
Later the day we came upon an execution
Like a carnival of death with protest and confusion
I met a girl from the college in the crowd
She dropped her shoes when she bent down
It made me feel more all alone
And Tommy O'Donnell, that half-Irish motherfucker
Was singing country songs and sucking on my thumb
He was startin' up some trouble with a cop in Fort Wayne, Indiana
Claimin' that the Klan had lynched his uncle for the color of his gun
Hey now, whatcha gonna do when I come back to you?
When I come back to you, will you be sorry?
Hey now, everyone I meet makes me think of you
Makes me think of you, and I get so lonely
Well I believe you when you say
That I'll be judged on garbage day
Baby, you've been on my mind
Halloween night at the Clermont in Atlanta
A strip joint in the basement of a transient hotel
Dressed up there as ladies, Johnny Diamond on the dance floor
And the quickest bandit of 'em all took money at the door
And the girl with the anger whose costume was familiar
Her posture, it was brilliant, and I recognized her shoes
I recognized her shoes, she was dressed up just as you
To me she looked like you, and I got lonely
Well the dogs, they run, and the whiskey comes
Left to myself, I'd come undone
I got burned out in the sun
Sleeping off my lonely
Hey now, I can't tell the buildings from the people
The strangers from the steeples
My anger from my friends
I'm soaked here in the juices, I been beat up by the Stooges
Who're singin' in my head
"Why can't we all just get along?"
Just get along [x4]
When I come back to you, will you be sorry?
Hey now, everyone I meet makes me think of you
Makes me think of you, and I get so lonely
We took an off-ramp to a bluegrass jamboree
Just to kill some time and maybe get a drink
Heard those sweet harmonies and it make me feel blue
Made me think of you and I got so lonely
Later the day we came upon an execution
Like a carnival of death with protest and confusion
I met a girl from the college in the crowd
She dropped her shoes when she bent down
It made me feel more all alone
And Tommy O'Donnell, that half-Irish motherfucker
Was singing country songs and sucking on my thumb
He was startin' up some trouble with a cop in Fort Wayne, Indiana
Claimin' that the Klan had lynched his uncle for the color of his gun
Hey now, whatcha gonna do when I come back to you?
When I come back to you, will you be sorry?
Hey now, everyone I meet makes me think of you
Makes me think of you, and I get so lonely
Well I believe you when you say
That I'll be judged on garbage day
Baby, you've been on my mind
Halloween night at the Clermont in Atlanta
