Across the Burnside Bridge before anyone shot their movies there
We hid from the whipping rain when we had run out of cocaine
Dispatch down to Plaid Pantry, two on point and two on sentry
Ah, the joys that the lesser days bring make you throw back your heads and sing
God bless all petty thieves with tins of oysters up their sleeves
Feast when you can and dream when there's nothing to feast on
verse 2
Across a different bridge today, over the river and down Broadway
Feels so good to have you here, some of you will be dead next year
I see your destinies above you, like angels who don't love you
Let them kiss you and hold you tight as long as the money's right
God bless all my old friends, and God bless me, too - why pretend?
Feast when you can and dream when there's nothing to feast on
Bridge
God bless the guys from my old neighborhood
Gone past the point where any blessings can do them any good
verse 3
But spare a thought for what it covers up, pour a triple and raise your cup
We were here once, me and my friends, but we destroyed all of the evidence
And vanished into the night, at least we got that one right
Outro
God bless us, all of us, we who learn to shun the light
God bless all vampires every night
Feast when you can
Feast when you can
