the failure of st. michael - ike reilly lyrics

well charlie from the drug plant
each night he gets tanked
thinking about st. michael’s
and how he left unthanked
and vicky slings the drinks
he knew her back in school
she said she swore off charlie
but loves breaking her own rules

and when the lights fl!cker madly
in the darkness sometimes they can see traces of their youth
and you know they need each other madly
’cause they both got a reason to cover up the truth

well i can smell the incense and the liquor on their breath
and i remember the empty promises about living life after death
and all the songs and stories about jesus and the wh0res
but charlie says he can’t recall who did him wrong no more

yet when the lights fl!cker madly
in the darkness sometimes he can see faces from his past
and you know (yet when the lights) that he’ll gladly
have another drink until those memories they pass

well the drug plant’s closing down
despite demand being so high
no more pain k!llers
no speed
nothing to get us by
vicky and charlie watched
as the factory closed it’s doors
charlie said i can’t get the drugs
that i need to take no more
yet when the lights (yet when the lights) fl!cker madly
he’ll crush the tablets and mix them with the granules from the caps
and you know that (yet when the lights) he will gladly
eat up all that medicine ’til he’s numb or on his back (on his back)
numb and on his back
on his back
numb and on his back

well the arc angel st. michael stood guard at the door
looking holy and dangerous
leaning on his sword
it’s written here protect us
from satan and his snares
but charlie says he hasn’t seen st. michael much around here

yet when the lights (yet when the lights) fl!cker madly
in the darkness sometimes he can feel that breath upon his neck
and he fears that one day satan will gladly
steal his drugs and mock him in the hour of his death
