12: 01

It's 12:01
The rain and wipers play a spooky song
As I cross the O'Neill Bridge and Calvert County line
To where the liquor laws are different

It's 12:01
The zombies are buying liquor 'cause it's Monday morning
And I'm sitting in the parking lot as they flip the sign
And I always see some friends as I stand in line
And I head to Billy Ringo's and I'll stay there 'til dawn
To where the music's always playing
I take his banjo and strum along
To chase away the morning

2:45
And I know she's home sleeping as I open number five
It's this company I'm keeping that's keeping me alive
These friends of mine
A bunch of lost cases just marking time
Before life's supposed to start, guess in the end it's fine
Or maybe, maybe not, ain't getting out alive

She told me she don't care if I come back here anymore
But if I do move quietly as I open up the door
And crawl across the bedroom and pull back on the covers
In the end it's evident it's over

It's over
It's over
