lyrics

(Verse 1)
Ever think you were the last one
Ever think you were the last one here
Ever think you were the last one here to know
Never one to be the first one
Never one to be the first one here
Never one to be the first one here to go

Put it out in an ashtray
You can tie it 'round your neck
You can pick it up and take it home
You can wrap it up in paper
You can tell it lies
Wait until it's broken and it's old

(Chorus)
Is it a secret
When everybody knows?
Commercial breaks are ruining
All of your television shows
Days go by
And the questions only grow
If you got this high
Then how, how'd you get so (low)

(Verse 2)
Ever think you were the last one
Ever think you were the last one here
Ever think you were the last one here to try
Never one to be the first one
Never one to be the first one here
Never one to be the first one here to die

You can call it up at night
Put it's picture on your wall
Burn a fire and try and keep it warm
You can use it as a mask
Hold it up to the light
Leave it unattended in a store

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
This is your open window
This is your mouth of open sores
This is your pissed-in ashtray
This is your house of broken doors
This is your one way trip
This is your only chance to know
And it's never gonna be this close again

(Outro)
Never again
Never again
Never again
NEVER AGAIN

The two had previously played in groups like Dawn of the Dude and Off With Their Heads among others. After reconnecting so many years later, the two began writing songs together again. The final 3-piece version of the band was completed when Crystal (Zombie Queen) joined on bass. ... more
