True story

lyrics

As every age of empire
Sees a sun that never sets
As to the underground will thrive with night
The scavengers and miscreants
So I found myself a pirate
In the county of the Queen
Take what I want what I can get
Thought nothing’s what it seems

As I wind these mangrove backstreets
On the nights when I may roam
I think of you and the life I’d give up
If I had anything at all
So I’ll board up all the windows
‘cuz there’s a blackout on the way
There’s a fog outside
So we don’t leave Queens tonight

I don’t know how I went to shambles
And I don’t know if you get my letters
And this island life is so stressful
That it seems I’ve lost all my direction
The last thing I remember
I was at a pub in Woodside
In a cloud of Skull and Bones who tell me
Everything’s alright

As I wound these mangrove backstreets
Trying to find my way back home
I thought of you, so far away
Just like my lonely bungalow

I came to via satellite
At some power plant, unsure
Of what the circumstance could be
That led me here,
But intoxicants seem certain
So like Washington fled Brooklyn
I was found East River bound
When the law caught up
I was so messed up
They just took my to my house
