Vienna Rockin' and Rollin'

Played my first legit concert in Vienna this past Thursday. This is a new song I've written since being in Vienna. I wish the quality of the video wasn't so awful, but it's way better than nothing, and if you hate it then I hope your computer explodes.




25 years in that house down on Florissant
we climbed the trees, we built our fortresses
on tin can stilts we walked home.

Then 7 more years in different apartments
I watched them change as we grew older
I should've seen it coming but I'm so far away

Now I'm crying on the cold steps of a foreign apartment
about something happening seven hours away
accidentally dressed for a shotgun funeral
in hysterical German I mumbled your name

And it's been raining so much here
lately I feel like an actress
walking terrible circles on this one-way stage
All the sadness we run from is everywhere we go
they were right you know, we can't run away

There's a candle burning for you in St. Wolfgang's
I prayed to you, I hope God wasn't angry
I just wanted to say goodbye

And it's burning tonight, and it'll burn on tomorrow
a $1.20 for all of my sorrow
I just hope you find yourself in her arms tonight
