[Verse 1]

The barrel fire's fading, my pals are disappearing

Another night is passing but I won't go

It's 2AM at townie and things are going my way

Three buds, a glove and a foot of snow

[Verse 2]

There's two little shits selling joints on the hill

And the kids down the lot are burning cruisers for a thrill

See we had each other, it was us against the world

Famous for nothing, yeah, nothing was our world

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, these lies won't save me

Don't you know, don't you know

From the time that made me

Here we go, here we go

[Verse 3]

The courts are filling up, all the kids are coming down

For a head start on the troubles of a long night on the town

Yeah, thank God it's Saturday and half my problems go away

Sure, the big one's on the way, but I know how to handle that

[Verse 4]

9 to 3 on weekdays, on the hour Sundays

The good lord was calling me but I wasn't up

From the convent to the rectory and over in the sacristy

I'm a goddamn travesty and that's just my luck

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, these lies won't save me

Don't you know, don't you know

From the time that made me

Here we go, here we go

Here we go, yeah

[Chorus]

Their gang went my way for basketball

My gang went their way for alcohol

When we met it wasn't pretty at all

Still the bells of St. Mary's kept ringing

[Bridge]

9 to 3 on weekdays, on the hour Sundays

Jesus Christ was calling me

Here we go, yeah

[Chorus]

Their gang went my way for basketball

My gang went their way for alcohol

When we met it wasn't pretty at all

Still the bells of St. Mary's kept ringing

[Chorus]

Their gang went my way for basketball

My gang went their way for alcohol

When we met it wasn't pretty at all

Still the bells of St. Mary's were ringing

[Outro]

The bells of St. Mary's were ringing
