And The Gods by The New Siberians Lyrics
I'm going out and I'm going drinking
I'm going downtown and drink 'til I'm done
I have no cares 'cause I am broken
Pockets empty my glass will be full
Feel the crowd
I've finally found
A home on the street
Near this empty seat
She's stopping down for ice cream and coffee
On her way to the top of the hill
She has no cares, her schooling is over in a day
But here's a table with drinks all around
He plays the bass and she knows his face
And she thinks "I'll just stay for one drink, take this empty seat"
And the gods did pause
Parents and brothers and sisters-in-law
I saw whiskey and road trips, a cat from the street, an album still yet to be named
Children who'd visit and then go away
I wonder what happened, where are they today?
And the gods did pause
Parents and brothers and sisters-in-law
I saw LA, Topanga, and drinks by the pool
An earthquake where planes couldn’t land
Fathers who couldn't hold onto their sons
Some low-budget touring, the end of the band
I will never let you go, you know?
Don't you know?
September rolled
Now December and snow is falling down
And here's a table with place set for four
Forever goes in a moment
You blink and then it's gone
Forever goes, you blink and it's gone
I'm holding on, I'm holding on
To that coin she tossed
Cheap at twice, twice the cost
I'm going downtown and drink 'til I'm done
I have no cares 'cause I am broken
Pockets empty my glass will be full
Feel the crowd
I've finally found
A home on the street
Near this empty seat
She's stopping down for ice cream and coffee
On her way to the top of the hill
She has no cares, her schooling is over in a day
But here's a table with drinks all around
He plays the bass and she knows his face
And she thinks "I'll just stay for one drink, take this empty seat"
And the gods did pause
Parents and brothers and sisters-in-law
I saw whiskey and road trips, a cat from the street, an album still yet to be named
Children who'd visit and then go away
I wonder what happened, where are they today?
And the gods did pause
Parents and brothers and sisters-in-law
I saw LA, Topanga, and drinks by the pool
An earthquake where planes couldn’t land
Fathers who couldn't hold onto their sons
Some low-budget touring, the end of the band
I will never let you go, you know?
Don't you know?
September rolled
Now December and snow is falling down
And here's a table with place set for four
Forever goes in a moment
You blink and then it's gone
Forever goes, you blink and it's gone
I'm holding on, I'm holding on
To that coin she tossed
Cheap at twice, twice the cost
