And St. George Slayed The Dragon Lyrics

Step out of the darkening twilight

Into the joy of the bar lights

I think it's gonna be a dead night

Oh, thank Christ

I take my jack and coke

Make my way through the smoke

Where the man of the hour

Sits alone

Broodin' like Brando 1955

No one better start any shit tonight

"Hey man, what you been doin'?"

"You know, a whole lot of nothin'

Just listening to nothing but

The Band and The Rolling Stones."

Tonight I'll fall off this wagon

If I get to raise a glass to

Toast the King of the Tavern

One more time

Whiskey, cigarettes

Warnings, I.D. checks

All the while we talk about

Danko and Manuel

Well I've got to go

The bar's about to close

As I stumble out

I sing aloud

With all the ghosts of rock and roll

He's shuttin' it down

Cause it's closing time

If you think you get to stick around

Shit you better think twice

Well friend, I'll see you tomorrow

When we're clear

Of our morning sorrows

We'll get back to what we had

And listen to those Rolling Stones

Tonight I'll jump off this wagon

If I get to raise a glass to

Toast the King of the Tavern

One more time

If I could cry away distance

I'd be back with all of my friends

And toast the King of the Tavern

One more time
