Are We the Waiting / St. Jimmy

by Billie Joe


Starry nights, city all lights
Coming down over me
Skyscrapers and stargazers
In my head
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
This dirty town was burning down in my dreams
Lost and found city bound in my dreams

And screaming
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting...
And screaming
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting...

Forget me nots, second thoughts
Live in isolation
Heads or tails and fairytales in my mind
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting unknown
The rage and love, the story of my life
The Jesus of suburbia is a lie

And screaming
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting...
And screaming
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting...unknown
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting...
And screaming
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting...unknown
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting...unknown

St. Jimmy

St. Jimmy's coming down across the alleyway
Upon the boulevard like a zip gun on parade
Light of a sillohette
He's insubordinate
Coming at you on the count of 1,2-1,2,3,4!!!

My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
Suicide commando that your momma talked about
King of the forty theives
And I'm here to represent
The needle in the vein of the estabushment

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

Cigarettes and ramen in a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe
Raised in the city under a halo of lights.
The product of war and fear that we've been victimized.

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

Are you talkin' to me?

I'll give you something to cry about.

ST. JIMMY!

ＲＯＣＫ！！ ！！ ！！ ！！！！！

My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun
I am the one that's from the way outside
A teenage assasin executing so fun
In the cult of the life of crime

I really hate to say it but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down old boy
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
And the resident leader of the lost and found

It's comedy and tragedy
It's St. Jimmy
And that's my naaaaaame...
and don't wear it out!
