Hospital Bed

from Dirty Basements by Billy Pontius

/

lyrics

Somewhere hidden between
The spraypaint and slashed tires down the street
I left my old life down in the dirt
Broken bottles of glass and cracks in the concrete
The sidewalk leads us straight to the gas station store

Do we grow up when we start smoking?
Do we get old when we're strapped into a hospital bed?

Down in St. Augustine
Somewhere off old st. George St.
I was playing guitar and eating pizza fore free
This down is a face and it's teeth are these buildings
And it keeps getting punched right square in the mouth
