Great Chicago Fire Lyrics by Movies About Animals

Two Decades and Change

2017

Every motherfucker has a story
Every motherfucker’s been somewhere that you will never go
Every motherfucker here’s an artist
Every motherfucker here has got to let you know
But every story gives me hope that I will someday have my own
55 is a straight shot home
And the skyline lights remind me that I’m not alone
I’ve made a place here amongst the bars and hospitals
My reflection in the frozen lake stares back at me disapprovingly
As I try to face the winter in these tree-lined streets
And tell myself
New York City would be better
Chicago will do just fine
Even in this shitty weather, it’s all the same
I’ll bite my lying tongue before I say I’ll never go
Back to everything I ever could call home
Started the Great Chicago Fire on the Near West Side
I wish I could stay this amount of drunk all of the time
Damen burned like Rome and Logan saw the smoke
And it has never felt so good to walk two miles home
Started the Great Chicago Fire on the Near West Side
And from there on down to my hometown
The highway was alive tonight
Started the Great Chicago Fire on the Near West Side
And from there we repair and repair and repair
New York City would be better
Chicago will do just fine
Even in this shitty weather, it’s all the same
If we can just survive this winter
We may see the sun again
And that shade of blue you’ll only find over Lake Michigan
Chicago will do just fine
Chicago will do just fine
