[Verse 1]
It's newly summer and Tony Bourdain died
I'm laying down in the shower staring up at a broken light
There's something screaming out from in my vent at night
It's shaking the house, it's trying to get out
It wants to tell me another lie
[Verse 2]
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if the magic's gone?
And I guess I should be glad that there was any at all
From 50th and Cedar to Richmond off of Front
I guess I should be glad that there was any at all
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the city coughs me out
Like a splinter in my wrist
Getting pushed out of my skin
And the city coughs me out
[Chorus]
When I was seventeen
I wrote a song about how I'm drinking kerosene
To light a fire in my gut
And I'll be coughing out embers for decades to come
I was seventeen with a fire in my gut
It's newly summer and Tony Bourdain died
I'm laying down in the shower staring up at a broken light
There's something screaming out from in my vent at night
It's shaking the house, it's trying to get out
It wants to tell me another lie
[Verse 2]
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if the magic's gone?
And I guess I should be glad that there was any at all
From 50th and Cedar to Richmond off of Front
I guess I should be glad that there was any at all
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the city coughs me out
Like a splinter in my wrist
Getting pushed out of my skin
And the city coughs me out
[Chorus]
When I was seventeen
I wrote a song about how I'm drinking kerosene
To light a fire in my gut
And I'll be coughing out embers for decades to come
I was seventeen with a fire in my gut
