Knights of the Island Counter Lyrics by Dave Melillo

Talk Is Cheap

2006

[Verse 1]
So we sit at this table with our hands in our laps
And we have a few drinks
And we share a few laughs
But now those days have passed
And they're not coming back
It's a shame, 'cause that's all that I had
[Chorus]
And we'll sing out loud for hours
'Til the morning that we know we can't avoid
These nights are notable and priceless
I swear that every word I say
I mean until my dying day
It's a shame, when I wake I can't recall a thing
It's a shame, when I wake I can't recall a thing
[Verse 2]
So keep things quiet
'Til the rest of the street falls asleep
Then we'll break out
And show everyone just what we're made of
We're so young
Let's abuse our health and have a little fun
I'll drink to that, let's drink to that
[Chorus]
And we'll sing out loud for hours
'Til the morning that we know we can't avoid
These nights are notable and priceless
I swear that every word I say
I mean until my dying day
It's a shame, when I wake I can't recall a thing
It's a shame, when I wake I can't recall a thing
[Outro]
I got some problems
But we got ten dollars
That's enough to get us wasted before the night is over
These past five days, I've been completely sober
But tonight I'm getting ripped wide open
I got some problems
But we got ten dollars
That's enough to get us wasted before the night is over
These past five days, I've been completely sober
But tonight I'm getting ripped wide open
