Punks in the Beerlight Lyrics by Silver Jews

Tanglewood Numbers

2005

Where's the paper bag that holds the liquor?
Just in case I feel the need to puke
If we'd known what it'd take to get here
Would we have chosen to?

So you wanna build an altar on a summer night
You wanna smoke the gel off a fentanyl patch
Aintcha heard the news? Adam and Eve were Jews
And I always loved you to the max

I love you to the max
I love you to the max
I love you to the max

(Cassie) If it gets really really bad, if it ever gets really really bad...

(David) Let's not kid ourselves

(David & Cassie) It gets really really bad

Punks in the beerlight, burnouts in love
Punks in the beerlight, Toulouse-Lautrec
Punks in the beerlight, two burnouts in love
I always loved you to the max
I love you to the max
I love you to the max
I love you to the max
I love you to the max
I love you to the max
I love you to the...

Max!
