Steal Smoked Fish

[Verse 1]

Across the Burnside Bridge

Before anyone shot their movies there

We hid from the whipping rain

When we had run out of cocaine

Dispatch down to Plaid Pantry

Two on point and two on sentry

Ah, the joys that the lesser days bring

Make you throw back your heads and sing

[Chorus 1]

God bless all petty thieves

With tins of oysters up their sleeves

Feast when you can

And dream when there's nothing to feast on

[Verse 2]

Across a different bridge today

Over the river and down Broadway

Feels so good to have you here

Some of you will be dead next year

I see your destinies above you

Like angels who don't love you

Let them kiss you and hold you tight

As long as the money's right

[Chorus 2]

God bless all my old friends

And god bless me too, why pretend?

Feast when you can

And dream when there's nothing to feast on

[Post-Chorus]

God bless the guys from my old neighborhood

Gone past the point where any blessings can do them any good

[Verse 3]

Attach the C-4 where you must

Disappear in a cloud of dust

But spare a thought for what it covers up

Pour a triple and raise your cup

We were here once, me and my friends

But we destroyed all of the evidence

And vanished into the night

At least we got that one right

[Outro]

God bless us, all of us

We who learn to shun the light

God bless all vampires every night

Feast when you can

Feast when you can

Feast when you can

Feast when you can
