Keasbey Nights Lyrics
It was the summer of '95 (so what?!),
in the backyard, shaving the old plies.
Feeling so strong, something went wrong.
Straight into my finger, what a stinger, it was so long.
I still remember that day, like the day that I said that I swear, "I'll never hurt myself again",
but it seems that I'm deemed to be wrong, to be wrong, to be wrong.
So i've got to keep holding on...
they always played a slow song.
When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk, with a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest..
Singing "my, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're going to die by the end of the night."
I still remember when we were young and fragile then.
No one gave a shit about us because times were tougher then.
Feeling so good,
cruising the hood;
straight into the real world, rich kids never understood.
But I don't care. I can fade away to anywhere.
Don't stop because you might get dropped
and if you do who's going to pick you up.
Well I won't... they always played a slow song.
in the backyard, shaving the old plies.
Feeling so strong, something went wrong.
Straight into my finger, what a stinger, it was so long.
I still remember that day, like the day that I said that I swear, "I'll never hurt myself again",
but it seems that I'm deemed to be wrong, to be wrong, to be wrong.
So i've got to keep holding on...
they always played a slow song.
Singing "my, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're going to die by the end of the night."
No one gave a shit about us because times were tougher then.
Feeling so good,
cruising the hood;
straight into the real world, rich kids never understood.
But I don't care. I can fade away to anywhere.
Don't stop because you might get dropped
and if you do who's going to pick you up.
Well I won't... they always played a slow song.

I think, in the chorus, when the lyric says
"singing my, my, my, how the time does fly, when you know you're gonna die by the end of the night"
It's a kind of sarcasm, because while someone/ something is coming for him, he's prepared and is not planning to simply give up, while the other force may be expecting to meet no resistance. The little song is humour about his situation because he's not the one going to die.
This fits with the song being about growing up in Keasbey, and not giving up without a fight.
this is all about growing up... it's an amazing song, and catch lyrics are, without question, ingenious in their simplicity. :) amazing band. and the songs are always hopefull... i like that.
