lyrics

Rainy Tuesday on the last leg of the tour
Pull the van out back, walk through the rusty door
We used to play a bigger venue, but we can’t fill it up no more

Familiar greeting from the man behind the bar
Says “welcome back boys, it’s good to see you, but I’m awful sorry,
We took a hit last time you played here, so we can’t comp your drinks no more”

An empty dancefloor reflects the tired, flickering lights
Regulars keep their backs turned and bellies up all through the night
I guess we never played nothing that anybody would want to hear twice
Let’s let ‘em close out boys and we’ll call it a night

Tell me what it means when that crashing sound is just your dreams and you
look to see there’s no one to hear them fall
I’ll tell you about how, it’s so goddamn lonely now
When you realize they didn’t make a sound at all

After the show, we’ll drive all night to get back home
Only mail is a notice they’ve cut off my lights and phone
There used to be a girl here waiting, she says she can’t wait no more
