Blackie & the Rodeo Kings - Lean On Your Peers lyrics

rate me

On sleepless nights down in the laundrymat

Watching the clothes, ghosts playing tit for tat

We light a joint, talk about our old friends

Dead or alive our stories never end

Turn it over, look on the back page

There's Johnny GoGo looks like he'll never age

Sits in the Park House, drinking beer and landing flies

Just after noon, waiting for the trouble boys.

CHORUS

That's just the way it is here

No less and no more severe

That's just the way it is here

So pull up your socks and lean on your peers

Did you hear about Hank?

Booze rotted out his liver

Gray and depressed,

He gave his wife the finger

What about his kid,

What about his ex-wife

Ask themselves the same thing when they turn out the lights

I still remember the first time I saw him sing

2 black eyes, from a knuckle and a biker's ring

climbing up the speakers, hanging from The Balla rafters

Hamilton punk king swinging to his own disaster

CHORUS....

Pattie couldn't make it

She jumped right out the window

3 floors down cuz they cut off her cable

Dan took the same fall

Fire ball on Hunter Street

Landed on the sidewalk

Looked just like a chicken wing

It was a heartfelt night it was raining

Tim told us the whole story

Hanging at the gas station

I never wanted to hear that description

But now I know what is and isn't fiction

CHORUS X2
