lyrics

When I went to pay my rent, my landlord told me my neighbor died.
I guess he had a bad heart and went in his sleep last night.
I can't say we were friends, but we'd get drunk sometimes
on ten dollar screw-cap wine.
I can't tell if the news makes me want to cry, and a cold wind blows by.

It's morning and there's furniture by the dumpster and cat toys on the sidewalk.
A local vagrant drags a mattress beneath the porch cos he lost his shelter cot.
The day starts to wane and Stevie's things are gone.
I'm gonna buy some screw cap wine.
His favorite Elvis poster dances across the lawn as a cold wind blows by.

Overeager officers waiting on the corner, antsy in the cold.
Michael's in the Rite Aid, violating his restraining order;
drunk and looking for smokes.
He's gonna start some shit with that poor high school kid who called the cops last time.
He's in the squad car again with some busted ribs as a cold wind blows by.

I'll tell some friends, "Come through", and tell them what I saw at Rite Aid.
Someone says, "Is something up with you?" I haven't lost much so I won't complain.

I mean it's not like we were friends, we just got drunk sometimes. "Does anybody want some wine?" When everybody leaves I bet I'm gonna cry, and a cold wind blows by.
