Lyrics

Columbus Avenue

[Intro]

1, 2, 3, 4

[Verse 1]

Storefront, streetcars rattle

One more losing battle

What is Columbus Avenue to you now?

[Verse 2]

Last call tattoo parlor

Deathbed sword swallower

What is Columbus Avenue to you now?

[Chorus]

The place where you failed

To make your story go over

The place where you bailed

And let the bottom drag you under

Drag you under

[Verse 3]

Cheap shot paranoia

Exiled from Victoria

What is Columbus Avenue to you now?

[Chorus]

The place where you failed

To make your story go over

The place where you bailed

And let the bottom drag you under

Drag you under

[Bridge]

Where you moved with a ghastly precision

To the echos of bones in the air

Finding hope in an X-ray division

Of a world that's not there

[Verse 4]

Cafe sinners bother you

Empty pockets follow you

What is Columbus Avenue to you now?

[Chorus]

The place where you failed

To make your story go over

The place where you bailed

And let the bottom drag you under

Drag you under

What is Columbus Avenue to you now?
