lyrics

Someday a mountain of gold cans
Will cover my body
As it's swallowed by the ground underneath
My tombstone will read:"here lies the dive bar king,
Crawled on hands and knees to establishments that closed at three,
Learned all the names of the greats and promptly forgot them
And stumbled back out into the street"

All the friends that you have shunned
Become the ones you've rightly won
Before the morning comes

Scanning the rooms for the last
Signs of life in the pre dawn
You cast your gaze like a
Dragnet across the bar floors
Can't catch a single stare
Glazed eye or a bored yawn
Even if you could
Morning comes, they'd be gone

All of the friends that you have shunned
Become the ones you've rightly won
Before the morning comes

All of the ones that wished you hell
Become the ones that know you well
Before the bar light swells

Bridge

All of the ones that knew you well
Become the ones that wish you hell
Before the bar lights swell

All of the friends you've rightly won
Become the ones that you will shun
Before the morning comes
