"Hum's Liquor" lyrics
"Hum's Liquor"
Every morning it was the same
You were walking down 22nd again
Such a lonely waltz of pain
Every morning at a quarter to ten
Got his jack and headed back
To bang on his guitar
And drink away another day
Hit it hard and hit it harder
Walkin' down to the corner to to hum's liquor
Walkin' down to the corner to to hum's liquor
Into the black and blue
Dragging demons around with you
Everybody wants to see the crash until they see the red lights flash
All the secrets of your past
We're closing in too fast
Everything was about to change
Nothing was ever built to last
Walkin' down to the corner to to hum's liquor
Walkin' down to the corner to to hum's liquor
Into the black and blue
Dragging demons around with you
Everybody wants to see the crash
Until they see the red lights flash
Into the black and blue
Dragging demons around with you
Everybody wants to see the crash
Until they see the red lights flash
