Broke into the Biltmore Got a couple of handles Drifted back to the darkness Lit a few candles They sent me some letters I did my best to ignore 'em I couldn't make the payments So they sat there unopened They cut off the power But I still got the water When I lose light for reading I walk up to the mall
I'm a creature of habit But I forget what it's for I'm Grant at Galena I need a new war I need a new war
I wore the right shoes, I wore the right shirt I went to the city, but the city didn't work It never felt great but at least it didn't hurt Saw the old school, it was all pretty sweet But not one single person threw palms at my feet My old friends are fine but their new friends are freaks
I found a bird in the backyard It flew into a wall Brought it into the foyer Prayed its sins are absolved I finally felt useful Trying to save something small But there's so many storefronts Emptied out at the mall Now they turned off the power And it's dark in the shower I guess it's all expectations It depends on the day
When supplies get depleted I set out for the store I'm Grant at Galena I need a new war I need a new war
I say the same things that used to get laughs When the sun's coming up, I'm high in the bath I can pay with a card but I can't pay in cash I wore the right shoes, I wore the right shirt I went to the city, but the city didn't work It never felt right but at least it didn't hurt
I found a bird in the backyard (I need a new war) It flew into a wall (I need a new war) Brought it into the foyer (I need a new war) Prayed its sins are absolved (I need a new war) I finally felt useful (I need a new war) Trying to save something small (I need a new war) But there's so many storefronts (I need a new war) Emptied out at the mall (I need a new war) They turned off the power (I need a new war) It's dark in the shower (I need a new war) I tried to ignore 'em (I need a new war) It depends on the day (I need a new war) There was sometime last summer (I need a new war) That I stopped keeping score (I need a new war) I'm Grant at Galena (I need a new war)
