lyrics

In The Long Run

The North Star Bar is closin' down
The look of hunger is on the town
I'm lookin' for the stairway down
I drag my ass around

But maybe it's better for someone
In the long run
Yeah maybe it's better for someone
In the long run

You look up, you look at the sun
I know you just wanna find some fun
But when you fall into the wrong dream
Things are not what they seem

But maybe it's better for someone
In the long run
Yeah maybe it's better for someone
In the long run

The North Star Bar is closin' down
The look of hunger is on the town
I'm lookin' for the stairway down
I drag my ass around

But maybe it's better for someone
In the long run
Yeah maybe it's better for someone
In the long run
