lyrics

Is there a name for us, just shy of growing up
Hiding in the noise, we're lost little boys
Go on and follow she, faking so authentically
We've all been set adrift, maybe directionless

Punk rockers, poets and queens
Would-be geniuses and petty thieves
Just wanna drink til we're dead
Like Dylan Thomas did
My mind's playing tricks on me
Three decades of dreams
Is this where we should be
Are we really where we should be?

They closed Max's Kansas City, but we've got new mythology
Can't afford the Chelsea Hotel, still I feel that I knew her well
Downtown once upon a time, go-gos in the bathroom doing lines
Split a bottle of Jameson, but we'll remember everything

Punk rockers, poets and queens
Would-be geniuses and petty thieves
Just wanna drink til we're dead
Like Dylan Thomas did
My mind's playing tricks on me
Three decades of dreams
Is this where we should be
Are we really where we should be?

I gotta know, are we on the right track?
Cause we're just meteors looking for an impact
I gotta know, are we on the right track?
We're just some meteorites

Punk rockers, poets and queens
Are we geniuses or just petty thieves?
We'll let it go to our heads
Like Edie Sedgewick did
My mind's playing tricks on me
Three decades of dreams
Is this where we should be
Are we really where we should be?
