Hey Logan! 03:30
It was a Friday, a hot time in Delaware, we can't slow down Another weekend, another bottle of Jack in another town And they said that it wasn't okay To do what we were doing here in this great state So we gotta come up with the cash some other way And everybody in the bar room's singing "Hey hey yeah" With the boys in the band "Hey hey yeah" This is just what we planned Another night, another sip Another kiss from other lips And we know you're gonna sweat 'til you got nothing left So we're dancing, we're rocking, we're rolling Spitting hot fire and some of us are jonesing To take a ride on the Whirligig back to '95 And on stage they're singing "Cigarillo" It's about to get ugly, about to get real-o And for the moment we're all in time and we're all in tune And everybody in the back room's swinging "Hey hey yeah" With the boys in the band "Hey hey yeah" This is not what we planned Another night, another show Another road we gotta go And we know you're gonna sweat 'til you got nothing left Let's give it up for the city of Philly With your brick ivy walls lining down the Old City We took a ride all the way to New York Where the party don't stop What the hell's last call? Travel north as we ship up to Boston We don't play no hardcore, but if you care you don't show it Born to lose, born to win But we'll do it all again We're kind of a mess but the best of our kind And we went with the flow Yeah, and fame, she's a monster But we got it on video And we know that it's just the beginning Get down with the Swingers, the Saints will keep sinning It's all for you, 'cause we love what we do And we're coming through And everybody in the tap room's screaming Everybody in the tap room's screaming "Hey hey yeah" With the boys in the band "Hey hey yeah" This is just what we planned We got the moves, we got the grooves And all the rest is up to you And we know you're gonna sweat 'til you got nothing left

Miscreants 04:40
She said, "Let's go to Battaglia's Home 'Cause anywhere is better than here" We sang Southern Comfort versions of an old song by Muse Those three blocks felt like forever After five too many we walked down to the pier And the riverfront was never the same I stared at her legs for the rest of the night 'Cause her hips would've given it away And boy, they would've given way We've been living it We're just miscreants And these rail lines They got electrified We've been living it We weren't miscreants Yeah, and these rail lines They got electrified Back at 10th and Willow we were killing the night With a tonic made of quinine and Svedka As her black camisole came loose in my hands I smelled the air of pending disaster And she smelled of some scent I'd chase after And she said she'd need a few more to last her But I sensed that I'd get her home faster If we'd only stayed home in the first place, yeah I'd rather see her bound to the rafters I'd rather see her bound to the rafters I'd rather see her bound to the rafters Cause I smelled the air of pending disaster We've been living it We're just miscreants And these rail lines They got electrified We've been living it We weren't miscreants Yeah, and these rail lines They got electrified
