lyrics
I take donations, I take your pills
I test your patience but I pay the bills
Things could get worse and they probably will oh yeah.
I heard you were Jesus, turns out you're not
You're an empty bottle in a parking lot
And that's a sad thing to believe in but it's all we got oh yeah.
So I know that we're over
I don't know why you'd care
But I'll be staying at the raven you can reach me there
Well I think of you every time the breeze blows in
Cause you don't know nothin' about the wind
The hurricanes will come and wash away our sins oh yeah.
I take donations, I take your pils
I test your patience by I pay the bill
Things could get worse and they probably will oh yeah
So I know that we're over
I don't know why you'd care
But I'll be staying at the raven you can reach me there
I'll be staying at the raven you can meet me there
I test your patience but I pay the bills
Things could get worse and they probably will oh yeah.
I heard you were Jesus, turns out you're not
You're an empty bottle in a parking lot
And that's a sad thing to believe in but it's all we got oh yeah.
So I know that we're over
I don't know why you'd care
But I'll be staying at the raven you can reach me there
Well I think of you every time the breeze blows in
Cause you don't know nothin' about the wind
The hurricanes will come and wash away our sins oh yeah.
I take donations, I take your pils
I test your patience by I pay the bill
Things could get worse and they probably will oh yeah
So I know that we're over
I don't know why you'd care
But I'll be staying at the raven you can reach me there
I'll be staying at the raven you can meet me there

about
The Tressels Pennsylvania
The Tressels turn personal and professional tragedies into earnest anthems about hope, addiction, betrayal, love, loss, nostalgia and regret played by life long friends who hold onto the heroic (or idiotic) notion that rock & roll is still a noble pursuit. ... more

The Tressels recommends:
-
Salacious pours his heart out. We can verify it's as honest and true as it is undeniably catchy. Addiction and madness: lust and love; all with a rhythm you can't help but dance to.
