Bar of the Century Lyrics by Arliss Nancy

Greater Divides

2016

Well I was fumbling drunk in a big city bathroom
Pushing my key to the corner to see what I find
Then I stumble out and get back in line
Everyone said it’s the bar of the century
With the best local shows and a cheap beer on entry
I know
But the place just really isn’t my type
So I get my coat
And I stumble out and into the night
[Chorus]
We want to get so much more
Than the lonely life that we’ve been handed
Hit the streets
We’re going to settle that score
The shadow of the city, there’s a light still shining
But when that light goes out
If we let the dark surrounds us
We’re going to run this town
Or this is going to be the way they say they found us
I feel my grave start to pull on me;
Just in the way I’ve started to grey
I shake through the night
I had a friend and I lost him
That’s how it is, That’s how it goes
Well I guess its life
Some people get rich, some people quit
And some people die
I still recall
The night we got drunk and laughed
Because I would set my sights on impossible horizons
I need a minute to adjust my eyes before
I venture on
But you go and you hung your guitar up
On your so called silver lining
Take a step back and admire it
If it were me I know I’d say that
I couldn’t breathe
[Chorus]
We want to get so much more
Than the lonely life that we’ve been handed
Hit the streets, we’re going to settle that score
The shadow of the city, there’s a light still shining
But when that light goes out
If we let the dark surrounds us
We’re going to run this town
Or this is going to be the way they say they found us
This is going to be the way they say the found us
