lyrics

At best you’ll walk on with a good story to tell
The nights last forever, some days are pure hell
Scatter the ashes of the progress of man
I just can wait to have you in my arms again

I sure miss the nightlife, sure miss all of my friends
At least they sell margaritas in geaux cups again
I lost the satisfaction I got from sleeping in late
So weird to be thankful for a job that I hate

And the least they can promise me is to deal with me honestly

This sure aint how I thought the empire would end
The Hollywood screenplay oversold it again
The new world’s too quiet, to say the very least
I heard it would be louder when they conjured the beast

And the least they can promise me is to deal with me honestly


The new world that’s coming won’t be the same as before
Lord, I hope we can make it but I can’t say for sure
Scatter the ashes of the progress of man
I just can’t wait to have you in my arms again

And the least they can promise me is to deal with me honestly
