You got a new tattoo of an old tattoo
While I hunted and I hunted
for the dreams I thought I wanted
But it kinda still stings when you do sink into 'em
With Rorschach shin bruises we are vandals of the flesh
We are the new vigilantes of the two-drink minimum
Me and the bovs took a rare day off
to watch Warhol's glue trap
We crowd around camcorder footage
for a half a dozen hours just to see what it can catch
Ohh, we are busted stitches in the patchwork of the flag
And we kneel for the 7th inning stretch

I didn't get dressed up
and come all the way down here for a bloodbath
All right, I might've come for a taste
But honey don't you know this part of downtown
On a weeknight
Is just a sewer for love's waste

And waste away I do in a prison of mv passing thoughts
I'm doing 25-to-life just waiting on a friend
to get back from a piss
But Constantine (Constantine)
Constantine (Constantine)
Constantine
Didn't make Saturday night for sitting here acting like this
So I am breaking free for the guillotine don't miss
I am breaking free
I am breaking free

I didn't get dressed up and come all the way down here
To make enemies
All right, I might've come for just one fight

| alone am but a negligible fraction
Of the holy trinity
And I'm only in town for this one night

Soon I'll be seen as a problem or the neighbors
Soon l'Il be seen as a trophy for the precinct
Soon I'll be seen as a willingly endangered bird
About to fly south

Oh, we are busted stitches in the patchwork of the flag
And we kneel for the TV timeout

Oh, to be free from the guillotine of doubt
To be free
Oh, to be free from the guillotine of doubt

I thought I was born to be a cockfighter a
A world-beater
Or at worst a numbers man
But I'm here halfway through at best
With no clear pathway through the rest p
Playing contract tambourine in a shipvard plumber's band
Soon I'Il be seen as a problem for the neighbors
Soon l'll be seen as a trophy for the precinct
Soon l'Il be seen as a willingly endangered bird of prey
I am hunting and I'm hunting
for the dream where I am running
Free from the guillotine before becoming
A card-carrying member of the earth and clay
But Constantine (Constantine)
Still Constantine (Constantine)
Constantine didn't make Saturday night
for dreaming the night away
He didn't make Saturday night for dreaming the night away
He didn't make Saturday night for dreaming the night away
So I am breaking free from the guillotine today
I am finally free from the guillotine today
I am finally free
I am finally free from the guillotine today
I am finally free from the guillotine today
