When we got to Portland, sweet Portland, what a mess.
Three friends in a great bar with a credit card.
We got wrecked.
I never want to call it quits, but, we’ve got a show tonight.
We pulled the reins, but, you cracked the whip.
Now everybody is pissed.
That was a blast, but, it don’t seem so funny now.
You’re lost in a blackout and you’re just about getting choked out by the crowd.
You’re never going to call it quits till the tank is on empty,
Your liver it taps out, you’re coked out, and you’re broke down
And everybody is pissed.
I could kill you myself, but, you never needed much help.
Maybe that makes me the fool.
You dropped every beat and the irony ain’t lost on me.
You never wanted to miss a thing.
With you, I could never stay sour for long.
Dark nights become mornings, and we’re shining again.
Then, your body just called it quits. Now I’m feeling empty.
It’s been years, and I don’t feel this can be for real.
I’m either dreaming or I just can’t admit it.
But if I close my eyes for a minute,
You’re in the bucket seat beside me in this shitty van.
And we’re drinking whiskey, and laughing,
And screaming at the Dreamcast.
Adios Portland!
Hey, California, where the party at??
Another mile, another highway, another city
And on the TV you’re crushing me
You’re killing me
At MLB3
