A post-apocalyptic roach
I don’t know when to quit
Outlived my scene
And the junkies, punks and skids
I'm always skating on the edge
Living breath to breath
Giving up the ghosts
They're never coming back
It's been a long, long time
Comparing ink, revealing scars
Hanging out in bars
Trading stories
Of the wars we never fought
You know my memory is shot
I just can’t place the face
Were we enemies?
Or friends?
In another life
It’s been a long, long time
Put out to pasture, put on ice
Wouldn't that be nice?
But I’ll never know
The meaning of the word retire
And while our heads were in the cloud
The whole world went to hell
And all we got was
This lousy abandoned mall
It's been a long, long time
