lyrics

I don’t want to drive fast cars, drink champagne or smoke cigars
I’ll smash a hole in this guitar, singing songs in these dive bars

Now Mary’s yelling in the backyard, she’s tired of looking at the bright stars
Noboby gives a damn who we are, down in the darkness of a dive bar

Down in the darkness of a dive bar
Down in the darkness of a dive bar
Nobody gives a damn who we are
Down in the darkness of a dive bar

The flesh is willing but the spirit is gone
Like dead soldiers with their swords still drawn
At last call we’ll sing the last song
And when we leave we’ll leave the lights on

No mother Mary’s falling into the street, and Chester’s leaning on the edge of his seat
They raise a glass to tragedy and defeat, but they ain’t nervous they’re just bad on their feet

Down in the darkness of a dive bar
Down in the darkness of a dive bar
Nobody gives a damn who we are
Down in the darkness of a dive bar

Down in the darkness of a dive bar
There ain’t no piano or pinot noir
They get you drunk and tow away your car
Down in the darkness of a dive bar

Look up at the stars, won’t you Mary
