Testo Late Night Heroes

another day and the sun goes down
another night going underground
walking down the wrong side of the rusty tracks
singing to myself and the sidewalk cracks
i see a beacon a star in the night
a sign of neon red and blue light
open up the door to the usual flow
but there's something missing i know
all my late night heroes are gone, gone, gone
all my late night heroes are gone, gone, gone
they left me trying to hold on
so i'll keep holding on

rotten robbie was a stalwart man
smoke in one hand drink in his other hand
he and tall allie started staying home
i see them fourth of julys and sometimes super bowls
tall allie was a jukebox ruler
making all the right picks wasn't nobody cooler
with booth street billy and clara ramone
kids wild and crazy never alone
then billy got in trouble had to cool it and run and clara moved back to where she came from

all my late night heroes are gone, gone, gone
all my late night heroes are gone, gone, gone
they left me trying to hold on
so i'll keep holding on

billy had that danger flickering in his eyes
but booth street was always just a little more wild
still i couldn't believe it when i heard about it
we all saw it coming but we couldn't do nothing
it hit clara hard must've scared her or something
she quit her band quit doing her zine
i guess you could say she grew out of it

all my late night heroes are gone, gone, gone
all my late night heroes are gone, gone, gone
they left me trying to hold on
so i'll keep holding on

i'll keep holding on
