Portland

Replacements · All for Nothing/Nothing for All [1997]

Shared a cigarette for breakfast

Shared an airplane ride for lunch

Sitting in between a ghost

And a walking bowl of punch

Can you play a little hunch?



Predicting a delay on landing

Well I predict we'll have a drink

Lost my money on the first hand

Got burned on a big fat king



And your ears are gonna ring

And your eyes just wanna close

Nothing changes I suppose



It's too late to turn back, here we go

Portland, oh no

It's too late to turn back, here we go

Portland, oh no



We'll wait away the raindrops

Look out boy, you'll catch cold

Serving boy can chain nothing

That ain't anchored to his throne

But at least he's going home



Sitting like a backwoods junkie

Caught down in a servant trust

Look at the funny monkey

Putting silver in his cup



And your silver turns to rust

And your secondhand clothes

Trust no one I suppose



It's too late to turn back, here we go

Portland, oh no

It's too late to turn back, here we go

Portland, oh no



Shared a cigarette for breakfast

Shared a pack of lies for lunch

Credit card almighty

Bringing in the next little bunch



And you owe me on a hunch

And your eyes just wanna close

And nothing changes I suppose



It's too late to turn back, here we go

Portland, oh no

It's too late to turn back, here we go

Portland, oh no
