[Verse 1]
Never again
Your so-called friend
Will leave you
Sick and dry
This friend has a name
Knows the gutter and shame
This so-called friend of you and I

[Verse 2]
Oh, great soul
The long-term goals
Are to leave this friend behind
He knows what I lack
Is a place under the sack
For every other tie that binds

[Chorus 1]
This last night on the town
Might be your last above ground
And you think to yourself
"There must be a better way
Than the same routine
For more than once
You pay"
More than once, you pay
[Verse 3]
Butt full of lead
Stuck in your web
Held captive by the stream
The thoughts in your head
They made a nice bed
And you still had time to dream

[Chorus 2]
This last night on the town
Might be your last above ground
And you smile
At things and wave goodbye
More excuses
To never even try
As you wave goodbye

[Verse 4]
Forget what I said
Your friend's not dead
He's only gone for a while
Come back to that crack
Between what's white and what's black
And give you one last smile

[Chorus 1]
This last night on the town
Might be your last above ground
And you think to yourself
"There must be a better way
Than the same routine
For more than once
You pay"
More than once, you pay
