Dead - Samiam

In that busted ranch house in the hills

With shit backed up into the sinks

The basement crypt so dark & thick

With smoke from endless cigarettes

Everyone came to expect a weekend that could last all week

You do what you want, you do your best

To be the worst that you could be

There was a time and a place for anything

Where no one sleeps and no one leaves

To keep out the outside and the inside in

We hung carpets over the windows

We stoked the fire with broken chairs to keep ourselves from freezing

The neighbors never seemed to care

Even though we gave them all so many reasons

It was the time and the place for anything

And that’s just the kind of space that I’m needing

But it’s all over now, dead

When you shot the bottle out of my hand you got lucky at 20 paces

A broken mirror is worth seven years I say and now you’re gonna pay

The best things happen when you least expect them

Oh I miss those days
