I can't live in this city but I was born here
I know all these people, where they went to high school
Where they got their angle, where they waited tables
Still call me brother like Cain and Abel
There, see all those old men, how'd they get so swollen?
I got too many broke friends who think I owe them
From when we were children, how did it happen?
Where is this going? Was that your question, man?
Where does all your frustration lie?
Why are you pulling out your hair at night?
Let's try and have a good time
All the rest aside
You're still one of my kind

I can't think in this city but I remember
I know every story that it ever told me
Well, I got the blueprint to create my own myth
Had to make it tragic like a summer snowdrift, yeah
I'm going to call my first love, meet her at the new club
Tell her all that I've done, finally be forgiven
We can get good and drunk like it feels when you're young
When everything's against us, we will fight tooth and nail
Stand in the sickening sunshine
After staying out all night
Yeah, honey, it's the good life
All the rest aside
The rest aside
The rest aside
You're still one of my kind

I can't live in this city but I'll probably die here
Maybe that's how you feel, like a poisoned cornfield
Like a best friend backstabbed, an abandoned train track
Travelling one straight line, no one of my kind!

One of my kind
