lyrics

This man came to me
and asked if I was his friend
who killed himself last year;
he played in a punk band
He said he was tripping
when he saw me leaning
against the wall of the bar
I never felt so far

And all my Alcoholic Saints
they sang with fire on their tongues
Hymns of desperation
and together they were one
and as I turned to go
they sent their blessings on my way
Good God, I almost stayed

I made my way outside
and stood out in the snow
Ventured into the alley
where I knew I could be alone
Summoned the beer from my belly
and I threw it against the wall

$20 worth of porters now wasted and gone
$30 worth of porters now wasted and gone

And all my Alcoholic Saints
they sang with fire on their tongues
Hymns of desperation
and together they were one
and as I turned to go
they sent their blessings on my way
Good God, I almost stayed
