Myspace |  Once More Before I Go Copyright 2001 by Adam Selzer, all rights reserved, ASCAP
The farm became an ash heap but I made it out alive Only 17 years old and already fully grown They kicked me out of Arnold County, I live all alone Got a busted down apartment up above a damp café but everything tastes better in Chicago, anyway CHORUS: Oh God! God how I love the rain God how I love the snow God let me hate last summer once more before I go Well the drifters pay with postage stamps and artists pay with bones Punks all pay with cigarettes and actors go on loans I got paid with rubber when I worked for Joe McColl and I used it filling up the cracks in my apartment wall that kept out the wind, and it kept the cold at bay on Christmas Eve at my place up above the damp cafe Chorus So I'm sitting at my table looking out of my window there are birds all along the street, I think they might be crows They come up to my windowsill I say "how do you do? Would you like to hear about what I did back in World War II?" They pick up the crumbs I give 'em then they fly away to tell their friends about the place above the damp café Chorus 5/2001 |
