Homecoming Lyrics

[Part 1: The death of St. Jimmy]

 

 My heart is beating from me

 I am standing a alone

 Please call me only if you are coming come

 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 light

 What the hells your name

 Whats your pleasure and whats your pain?

 Do you dream to 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 out his brains into the bay 

 In the state of mind in my own suicide 

 

 [Part 2: East 12th St.]

 

 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 listened to a word now

 He's in his own world

 And he's daydreaming

 His life is on the line with anxiety now

 And she had enough

 And he had enough

 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 don't want to stay

 Get me out of here right now

 I just wanna be free

 Is there a responsibility

 Get me out of here right now

 This life like aint for me

 

 [Part 3: Nobody likes you!]

 

 I fell asleep watching spike TV

 After 10 cups of coffee

 And your still not here

 Dreaming of a song

 When something went wrong

 But I cant tell anyone

 Cus youre not

 Left me here alone

 When I should have styed home

 After 10 cups of coffee

 I'm thinking wered you go

 Nobody likes you

 Everyone left you

 They're all out without you havin fun

 Where'd you go

 I'm thinking wered you go

 Nobody likes you

 Everyone left you

 They're all out without you havin fun

 Where'd you go

 

 Geeze...Ha..

 

 [Part 4: Rock and roll girlfriend]

 [written and sung by Tre Cool]

 

 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 plat the shit out 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 my case

 

 [Part 5: 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 going nowhere

 Nobody ever said that life was fair now

 Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear

 In the summer heat

 The 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 going

 

 Home

 We're coming home again

 Home

 We're coming home again

 

 I started fuckin' running

 Just as soon as my feet touched the ground

 We're back in Barrio

 But to you and me, that's jingle town

 

 Home

 We're coming home again

 Home

 We're coming home again

 Home

 We're coming home again

 Home

 We're coming home again

 Home

 We're coming home again

 Home

 We're coming home again

 Home

 We're coming home again

 Home

 We're coming home again

 Home

 We're coming home again

 

 Nobody likes you

 Everyone left you

 They're all out without you havin fun
