Looking down on the land of oppression / from my vantage point in the land of dreams.

Night falls and the lightning strikes / the night I left my home behind.

So, you from Joisey? / …umm, what exit?

But I cursed the romance that shrouded us / I cursed the love that devoured us / And I cursed you when you found someone better than me

One more song is all I have to sing / One more song to see what the future brings.

I used to be so cool with my hat and beard / In my younger years way back ...

There’s nothing new around in this dead man’s town / Nothing to do in a dead man’s world

Well I tried to sing the blues / But the blues been beaten to death ...

The desperate and pathetic / still try to make their stand / Wounded, killed, and resurrected / Forever and ever in Jughandleland.

Something that keeps me turning right when I need to go left / Down in Jughandleland.

This town’s coming back, I’m seeing it firsthand / If you’re not seeing it you’ve got your head in the sand.

This is my town and I’ll walk outside here, no matter what’s coming down from the sky.

Dani, the sun has gone down in our faces / The lights faded out and there’s no real sign of the morning

This city’s never gonna come back / As long as the negativity rules ...

When scandal after scandal breaks in the news / And when this town can’t seem to shake those blues / I wonder why I still care.
