Punks In The Beerlight Lyrics

Where's the paper bag that holds the liquor?
Just in case I feel the need to puke.
If we'd known what it'd take to get here,
Would we have chosen to?

So you wanna build an altar on a summer night,
You wanna smoke the gel off a fentanyl patch.
Aintcha heard the news? Adam and Eve were Jews.
And I always loved you to the max.

I love you to the max (x3)

(Cassie) If it gets really really bad, if it ever gets really really bad...

(David) Let's not kid ourselves. It gets really really bad.

Punks in the beerlight, burnouts in love.
Punks in the beerlight, Toulouse-Lautrec.
Punks in the beerlight, two burnouts in love.
I always loved you to the max
I love you to the max (x5)
I love you to the...

Max!

Great song. I think the female vocals (I believe it's Dave's wife?) are a very good addition as well.

I can't stop listening to this. The video ('Beneath the Planet of the Apes' re-cut) is really good. Cassie Berman Does add immeasurably to the song. Silver Jew should have monuments erected to them in most of the back yards of America.
