Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Starry nights, city of lights coming down over me
Skyscrapers, stargazers in my head
[Verse 2]
Are we, we are, are we, we are
The waiting unknown
This dirty town is burning down in my dreams
Lost and found, the city bound in my dreams
[Verse 3]
And screaming
Are we, we are, are we, we are
The waiting
And screaming
Are we, we are, are we, we are
The waiting
[Verse 4]
Forget me nots, second thoughts live in isolation
Heads or tales, fairytales in my mind
[Verse 5]
Are we, we are, are we, we are
The waiting unknown
[Verse 6]
The rage and love, the story of my life
The Jesus of Suburbia is a lie
[Verse 7]
And screaming
Are we, we are, are we, we are
The waiting
And screaming
Are we, we are, are we, we are
The waiting unknown
Are we, we are, are we, we are
The waiting
And screaming
Are we, we are, are we, we are
The waiting unknown
Are we, we are, are we, we are
The waiting unknown
[Verse 8]
St. Jimmy's coming down across the alleyway
Up on the boulevard, like a zip gun on parade
Lights of a silhouette, he's insubordinate
Coming at you on the count of one two
(one, two, three, four)
[Verse 9]
My name is Jimmy, and you better not wear it out
Suicide commando that your momma talked about
King of the forty thieves and I'm here to represent
The needle in the vein of the establishment
[Verse 10]
I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face, and a taste for suicidal
[Verse 11]
Cigarettes and ramen, and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allan Poe
Raised in the city, under a halo of lights
Product of war and fear, that we've been victimized
[Verse 12]
I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face, and a taste for suicidal
[Verse 13]
Are you talkin' to me?
I'll give you something to cry about
St. Jimmy
[Verse 14]
My name is St. Jimmy, I'm a son of a gun
I am the one that's from the way outside (St. Jimmy)
A teenage assassin executing some fun
And the cult of the life of crime (St. Jimmy)
[Verse 15]
I really hate to say it but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down, old boy (St. Jimmy)
Welcome to the club, and give me some blood
And the resident leader of the lost and found (St. Jimmy)
[Verse 16]
It's comedy, and tragedy
It's St. Jimmy
And that's my name
And don't wear it out
