Ashtray Monument
24 Hour Revenge Therapy LP/CD,
Live 4/30/96 LP/CD
Free, alone.
Run for cover, there's a big one coming.
It gets hard.
Run for cover, there's a big one coming.
After all, it's not that bad.
Remember our life.
After all, it's not that bad.
The predawn white light's coming on.
Bottle on the night stand.
I count disasters on my free hand now.
You'll be lucky if you're at ground zero.
No one said that this life was easy.
Did that no one ever live a life this hard?
The bills are scattered in the yard.
Ashtray monument.
A life spent waiting in cement comes down.
You'll be lucky if it's got your number.
No one said that this life was easy.
Did that no one ever live a life this hard?
I still have pictures.
I look back
at all the things that we once did.
You said, "I love you."
I guess you did.
I did the dishes while you read out loud.
Best friends, strangers now.
Were our kids all we could call common ground?
I still have pictures.
I look back
at all the things that we once did.
You said, "I love you."
I guess you did.
Note: Blake introduced the song as "New Punk Song" or "New Punk" in live shows from
1992.
