Newmyers Roof

verse 1 There were those same bloodsuckers in the lobby again and when they called my name I waved-- I thought they might be my old friends They had the cross in the car, they had the pig in the pen, I was in the bathroom doing my best to ascend Doubting Thomas had the party supplies, said he likes how it looks when I roll back my eyes verse 2 The studio sent a car to collect me, when the driver dropped me off at the lot, he said he'd never forget me The publicist picked up lunch again, I had a Pabst and some pemmican, she said "Man you're so damn American." Doubting Thomas had his eyebrows raised, he says he liked me much better when I was walking away No I've never been crucified, I've never suffered or died, I've never been shot, but I've been lied to a lot verse 3 Hotel lobby, late night TV, you're either up on the stage or you're down on your knees Blood on my hands, ash in my wine, you can see how I get anxious sometimes Nails in my hand, blood in my eyes, I feel pretty cool but I know I look fried All these tall tales and one tiny truth, I saw the towers go down from up on Newmyer's roof Yeah we were frightened, yeah we were drinking, it was all so confusing Doubting Thomas went and talked to the cops, he said this sure seems like an inside job No I've never been crucified, I've never suffered or died, I've never been shot, but I've been lied to a lot verse 4 Hotel bar, the game on TV, you're either up on the lights or you're out on the streets We always want more but we get what we need, I saw your girl at the movies, she seems pretty sweet Doubting Thomas had a cynical take, he said "The more you destroy, the more you take." No I've never been crucified, I've never suffered or died, I've never been shot, but I've been lied to a lot Outro Look at these mountains, look at these trees, Tom there must be something you believe Look at these mountains, look at these trees, Tom there must be something you believe Tom there must be something yeah, Tom there must be something yeah, Tom there must be something you believe Tom there must be something yeah, Tom, there must be something yeah, Tom there must be something you believe Yeah.... end
