lyrics

This one’s for all my boys in back
For those who never found relief
These lonely riders mount the night
And meet the sunrise on their steeds
This one's for those whose names unknown
Perplex the annals of my mind
Their hearts live on in strange affairs
Their tender smiles lost to time

Now they’re stars, past the drunken bars, and a cannibal consumption

This song’s for those who lost the war
Whose names have failed the test of time
They gave it everything they had
And yet they never toed the line
They rode through lonely, lonely nights
And yet they never were alone
They buried sorrow in their friends
And then they’d wend their way back home

Now they’re stars, past those ugly bars, and a cannibal consumption

This one’s for all my boys in back
For those who bore the brunt of pain
Contorted faces, yet they smile
On cloudless nights they made it rain
Last time, for all those boys in back
Who haunt these channels in my mind
They played at love for all to see
And then they left it all behind

Have you seen? Pictures on the screen, and a cannibal consumption

(DTMF tones:
It took them all into its fold
The young the old the kind the bold
And off they went unto the breach
Beyond the pale of illness' reach
Now they rest among the stars
Beyond the bruisers in the bars
Repose dear friends in rest complete
Until the day when we shall meet)
