"When The Coast Is Clear" lyrics

"When The Coast Is Clear"

They're closin' down the hangout, the air is turnin' cool
They're shuttin' off the super slide, the kids are back in school
The tourist traps are empty, vacancy abounds
Almost like it used to be before the circus came to town

That's when it always happens
The same time every year
I come down to talk to me
When the coast is clear

Hello, Mister Other Me, it's been a long, long time
We hardly get to have these chats, that in itself's a crime
So tell me all your troubles, I'll surely tell you mine
We'll laugh and smoke and cuss and joke and have a glass of wine

That's where it always happens
The same place every year
I come down to talk to me
When the coast is clear

It's the only place he knows

Where it always happens
The same place every year
I still come down to talk to me
When the coast is clear
