Song Lyrics

Starry nights
City of lights coming down over me
Skyscrapers
Stargazers in my head

Are we we are, are we we are
The waiting, unknown
This dirty town is burning down in my dreams
Lost and found the city bound in my dreams

And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting

Forget me nots and second thoughts live in isolation
Heads or tales and fairytales in my mind,

Are we we are
Are we we are the waiting, unknown

Rage and love, the story of my life
The Jesus of suburbia is a lie
And screaming

Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, and screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, and screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown

St. Jimmy's coming down across the alleyway
Up on the boulevard like a zip gun on parade
Light of a Silhouette, he's insubordinate
Coming at you on the count of one two (one, two, three, four)

My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
Suicide commando that your momma talked about
King of the forty thieves and I'm here to represent
That needle in the vein of the establishment

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allan Poe
Raised in the city under a halo of lights
The product of war and fear that we've been victimized

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

You talkin' to me?
I'll give you something to cry about
St. Jimmy

My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun
I am the one that's from the way outside (St. Jimmy)
A teenage assassin executing some fun
And the cult of the life of crime (St. Jimmy)

I really hate to say it but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down ol' boy (St. Jimmy)
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
And the resident leader of the lost and found (St. Jimmy)

It's comedy and tragedy
It's St. Jimmy
And that's my name
And don't wear it out!
