lyrics

these barstools were pews in this chapel of fools where the rebels and the rascals used to gather to drink and be damned on these warm jersey city nights. to take comfort in the presence of friends. given the choice, i would never go back. things were so unsettled back then. those times taught me so much and i’ll never forget how it felt to be with you my friends.

we are those who used to drink at uncle joe’s. we know the truths that everybody else wishes they would know. raise up your glasses, there’s still a story left to tell about living and dying in this city of hell.

white russian whispers, the bartender is a dove. mixed emotions when push came down to shove. transfixed transients like ghosts of real people. we walked around like a pack of lost souls. sometimes confort comes at the bottom of a drink. and sometimes you need everyone around just to be alone and think. i’ve scratched your name into my flesh. i know in my heart i’ll see you again.

we are those who used to drink at uncle joe’s. we know the truths that everybody else wishes they would know. raise up your glasses, there’s still a story left to tell about living and dying in this city of hell.
