lyrics

You’ve become the symbol of every time I’ve failed, beat up and broken down with memories of glory days. Since then it seems that you’re running rough but you still turn over. Some time ago that I call it the good old days, you rise from the ashes and you’re back out on the street again. You lit it up. Now that the smoke show is over there’s a different fire burning.

I can’t count the times that you left me stranded and I guess it was all my fault. Even after all this blood, sweat, and tears it’s beautiful (it’s a disaster). It’s beautiful (beautiful disaster).

There was a time when I lost everything. that’s when I found you in the place where they left you to die. An abandoned landmine, you were waiting for something like a killer waiting for the night. I’ve got nothing. I pulled the trigger. I made the connection. There ain’t nothing better than the 350 screaming in the middle of the night and the shining of the chrome in the ‘96 summer street lights.

I can’t count the times that you left me stranded and I guess it was all my fault. Even after all this blood, sweat, and tears it’s beautiful (it’s a disaster). It’s beautiful (beautiful disaster).

And when you think of it we’re one in the same. We’ve got a common ground, a mirror of condition: shine when I’m high, broken down when I’m low, always one step away from total self destruction. So when I see you sinking in the ground again it reminds me of the same situation I’m in. We had it once but we lost it. We will ride again, I promise you. I promise you!
I can’t count the times that you left me stranded and I guess it was all my fault. Even after all this blood, sweat, and tears it’s beautiful (it’s a disaster). It’s beautiful (beautiful disaster).
