Jameson Pub Songtext
von Northern Tribe

A neon sign buzzes like a warning
This town forgets my name
But remembers my sins
One more pour and I drown in the echo
Of stories I scream through rusted grins

Ash in my whiskey venom in my cheer
Glass by glass I disappear

I′m a stranger at the bottom
Laughin' like a god I toast with flame
Raise my glass for the broken and forgotten
This pub′s a church with no name
I bleed the night with a bottle in hand—
And never let the silence stand


I grin like death with a hangman's charm
No past no future just this hour to burn
Smoke curls upward like a funeral hymn
I breathe it in and let it churn

The bartender's gospel slurred and cracked
Chains of memory burning black
Vodka tears beer-born screams
I chug away my hollow dreams

I′m a stranger at the bottom
Arm in arm with ghosts and shame
In the gutter where I blossom
I bear no face I chant no name
Let the band play till
The world goes numb—
And I forget what I′ve become
