[Verses]
           
My heart is be

        
ating from me 
            
I am standing 

     
all alone 
            
Please call me

  
 only 
           
If you are com

     
ing home 
             
Waste another 

 
year flies by 
             
Waste a night 

    
or two 
            
You taught me 

      
how to live 

                   
                   

             
In the streets

    
 of shame, 
             
Where you've l

             
ost your dream

        
s in the rain,

 
             
There's no sig

      
ns of hope, 
              
The stems and 

             
seeds of the l

           
ast of the dop

e, 
             
There's a glow

    
 of light, 
             
The St. Jimmy 

            
is the spark i

      
n the night, 
             
Bearing gifts 

    
and trust, 
             
The fixture in

            
 the city of l

 
ust 

           
What the hell'

       
s your name, 
            
What's your pl

            
easure, what i

       
s your pain? 
          
Do you dream t

     
oo much? 
             
Do you think w

             
hat you need i

     
s a crutch? 

                   

            
In the crowd o

             
f pain, St. Ji

             
mmy comes with

      
out any shame,

 
              
He says "We're

 
 fucked up", 
             
But we're not 

     
the same, 
             
And mom and da

              
d are the ones

          
 you can blame

 
         
Jimmy died tod

 
ay 
            
He blew his br

            
ains out into 

     
the bay, 
          
In the state o

  
f mind 
             
it's my own pr

         
ivate suicide

(iii - Nobody Likes You)

            
I fell asleep 

             
while watching

         
 Spike TV, 
             
After 10 cups 

     
of coffee, 
             
And you're sti

        
ll not here, 
             
Dreaming of a 

 
song, 
             
When something

       
 went wrong, 
             
And you can't 

       
tell anyone, 
             
'Cos no one's 

 
here 

            
Left me here a

 
lone, 
             
When I should 

             
have stayed ho

me, 
            
After 10 cups 

     
of coffee, 
     
I'm thinking, 

       
Nobody likes y

ou, 
         
Everyone left 

you, 
             
They're all ou

      
t without you,

 
       
Havin' fun, 

         
Everyone left 

you, 
      
Nobody likes y

ou, 
             
They're all ou

       
t without you,

 
       
Havin' fun, 

             
Where'd you go

 
?

(v - We're Coming Home Again)

...       
         
         
         

             
  Here they co

            
me marching do

wn the street
             
  Like a despe

            
ration murmur 

          
of a heart bea

t 
             
  Coming back 

           
from the edge 

of town
             
  Underneath t

             
heir feet 

             
  The time has

              
 come and it's

 
 going nowhere
             
  Nobody ever 

            
said that life

           
 was fair now
             
  Go-carts and

              
 guns are trea

            
sures they wil

   
l bear 
             
  In the summe

         
r heat 

            
The world is s

              
pinning around

      
 and around
             
Out of control

         
 again

            
From the 7-11 

            
to the fear of

          
 breaking down

, 
            
So send my lov

    
e a letterbomb

, 
            
To visit me in

   
 hell, 
            
We're the ones

   
 going 

   


Home. 
             
We're coming h

 
ome again 

Home. 
             
We're coming h

 
ome again 


 
I started fuck

in' running, 
              
As soon as my 

   
feet touch gro

und, 
 
We're back in 

the barrio, 
             
But to you and

              
 me, that's Ji

           
ngletown. That

's 
 
Home.
