Gather around you people now to the tale that I tell
About the last time my friend moved he decided to move to hell
D7
They call it Creslawn California down there USA
A
For God and his wisdom burned it down one beautiful day
E
He could not sleep for restlessness, downtown he went
D7 E
Where he ran into some rednecks looking to sexually experiment
A
Me and this man had a band once and we were called The Shapes
You probably never heard of us and that really is okay
D7
We drank and we threw up sometimes we practiced and played
A
Our drummer couldn't figure out whether he was straight or he was gay
E
We went on tour within walking distance of our house
D7 E
Maybe that is why no one knew what our sound was all about
D7 E
Thats why I say gather around you people now
A D7
Get your money out to lend
E A
We're all leaving town for good again
E A
For good again
A
We drink up at the high school by the stairs on the hill
Everything looked beautiful with enough booze and pills
D7
It was nice to know that no one in their right mind would drop by
A
Just bitch about some bull now and the lights lit up the sky
E
You'd never understand the things my friend Eric put us through
D7 E
He had this Powepoint presentation about this girl he want to do
D7 E
Well now we were all such assholes but who was keeping score
Most the people who still hate us they don't live here anymore
D7 E
Thats why I say gather around you people now
A D7
Get your money out to lend

We lived in the house and it was down on Lincoln street
We payed the bills now and they turned out the heat
D7
I lived up in the attic right above the bathroom
A
When I could pay my rent-man illegal drugs thats exactly what I do
E
We barbecued in that alley until pa poisoned me with raw meat
D7 E
It was a low level existence thats what you proper people'd say
But I wrote songs in that attic that I now get paid to play
D7 E
at one time lived in somebody's hallway
D7 E
Thats why I say gather around you people now
