Smokestack - Alkaline Trio

Filled myself with soot from top to bottom

I’m a smokestack

Turning blood into booze

Now my liver’s on fumes

Little alcoholic

I’m always beating myself up

Why did I have to play so rough?

I tried to get the hell out

And I’m standing in my own way

No, we can’t skip school anymore

Do you miss those days at all?

I miss starting up fires

Throwing bottles at trains

Pissing on convenience store walls

Well it was time for me to go home

Let’s go and make some flyers for our third floor show

Mom and dad can wait

This is the path that we chose

Do you really believe that didn’t mean anything?

Now do you really believe those days didn’t mean a thing?

'Cause I’m still believing, that means everything

Do you really believe those days didn’t mean a thing?

'Cause I sure don’t

You made my life

You changed my life

You changed my life

Well, I was scared as hell as I was standing

At that open bar

I saw a life go past that I guess I could’ve had

But I didn’t try very hard

You see, I knew you two would last

Why did you have to jump so fast?

Now put the baby to bed

'Cause it’s time for me to go home

Do you really believe that didn’t mean anything?

Now do you really believe those days didn’t mean a thing?

'Cause I’m still believin', that means everything

Do you really believe those days didn’t mean a thing?

'Cause I sure don’t

You made my life

You changed my life

You changed my life

You changed my life
