lyrics

There was a man with a band and his band had a plan
Every single note was one that I could understand
They played across the river where the clubs got bigger
Every single note was just like pulling on the trigger
It was something almost spiritual, something like a miracle
Some nights it got close to gospel
The good news spoke of hard times out there on Riverside
Caffeine, nicotine, close calls and crimes

Every single thing that turns gold in this town
Ends up breaking down
It was taboo to talk about "Fiestas" and "Soft Rock"
When the band loaded out

It seems strange to me when some person might need
To leave behind streets so precious and mean
To trade them for clubs that never existed
To compromise and decompose fact into fiction
It felt something like betrayal when things got stale
I blame New York and Massachusettes
The proverbial wars in the midwestern states
Turn heroes into cowards and friends into flakes

Every single thing that turns gold in this town
Ends up breaking down
It was taboo to talk about "fiestas" and "soft rock"
When the band loaded out

Think MC5 and The New York Dolls drinking with Kiss and Bruce Springsteen and arguing about the Dead Boys, the Ramones, and Slade.
