Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm runnin' out of miracles (Oh, my soul)
And the street's alive with one man shows (Oh, my soul)
The corner boys were moved along (Oh, my soul)
We're plummeting like crippled crows (Oh, my soul)
[Verse 2]
Oh, long before you and I were born
Others beat these benches with their empty cups
To the night and its stars, to be here and now and who we are
[Verse 3]
Another sunrise with my sad captains
With who I choose to lose my mind
And if it's so we only pass this way but once
What a perfect waste of time
[Verse 4]
The BMX apothecary (Oh, my soul)
The architect of infamy (Oh, my soul)
For each and every train we missed (Oh, my soul)
The bitter little eucharist (Oh, my soul)
[Verse 5]
Oh, long before you and I were born
Others beat these benches with their empty cups
To the night and its stars, to be here and now and who we are
[Verse 6]
Another sunrise with my sad captains
With who I choose to lose my mind
And if it's so we only pass this way but once
What a perfect waste of time
[Verse 7]
Another sunrise with my sad captains
With who I choose to lose my mind
And if it's so we only pass this way but once
What a perfect waste of time
[Verse 8]
Another sunrise with my sad captains
With who I choose to lose my mind
And if it's so we only pass this way but once
What a perfect waste of time
[Verse 9]
What a perfect waste of time
