[Verse]
The golden groves are lined with affluence and roses
But the bagheads down by Central Station are closer to where home is
It can be grim and send you West from time to time
Yeah, this place is such a shipwreck
But this shipwreck, it is mine
[Chorus]
I've been wasting away
But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway
If you're looking for a place to decay
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry
[Verse]
I've seen a punch or two
Narrowly escaped a few
And if you can get the day off, I could show you a view
I remember the football games
The first time that I got laid
And the time J broke his finger drinking by the lake
[Pre-Chorus]
Day by day we grew
And where I make my grave
The sound of my youth echoes out through these empty streets
I guess I can't kick up the roots
It's home, and that's the truth
The golden groves are lined with affluence and roses
But the bagheads down by Central Station are closer to where home is
It can be grim and send you West from time to time
Yeah, this place is such a shipwreck
But this shipwreck, it is mine
[Chorus]
I've been wasting away
But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway
If you're looking for a place to decay
Then there will always be a place in my town called revelry
[Verse]
I've seen a punch or two
Narrowly escaped a few
And if you can get the day off, I could show you a view
I remember the football games
The first time that I got laid
And the time J broke his finger drinking by the lake
[Pre-Chorus]
Day by day we grew
And where I make my grave
The sound of my youth echoes out through these empty streets
I guess I can't kick up the roots
It's home, and that's the truth
