The bars won’t take us
We've crawled too far
But found no destiny
Or promises in gin

We look up with bleary eyes,
Where the stars rest aflame
In the pendulous black shadow
But this night cannot protect us

Tremulous angels,
We left our history with strangers
And danced our fright with jazz,
Sweet baritones of sex

We sat on rooftops
Where life could not escape us
Where death could never take us
Exchanging verses with the moon  

I drink to youth
I drink to you
I drink

We lost our map to paradise 
While we drank our hopes from bottles
Burned romances with cigarettes
Let them wash away with rain

And now we tremble bare
Bodies blistering with Time
That holy con-man,
Father of pasts gave us nothing

We lost everything, tragic gypsies,
We fucked the future like fiends
Lusting like drunk harlots
We lost everything

I drink to youth
I drink to you
I drink  

Our heads rest on our shoulders
Our eyes lifted like martyrs
To that vacuous eternity
But this night will not protect us

And now the bars won’t take us
And now we pray to death
But we were not believers
Blasting, burning like volcanoes

We lost everything, dear children
We are remnants after fire
We lost everything
