Drive-By Truckers - After The Scene Dies lyrics

The graffiti on the backstage wall Gets painted over in a muted shade And the club becomes an Old Navy After the scene dies When the last six-string slinger Has to bow down for insurance And accept the mundane After the scene dies When the last one leaves And the last note fades And the last dream's been put away Shut the light off, shut the light off When the front-man turns to Jesus And the drummer moves away I'll still be doing what pleases me After the scene dies When the bartender pa**es and the owner cashes out And they box up the gla**es And they take the sound system down Guitars back in their cases, don't forget my fries After the scene dies When the last one leaves And the last note fades And the last dream's been put away Shut the light off, shut the light off After the scene dies After the scene dies After the scene dies After the scene dies What you gonna do when the club shuts down? What you gonna do when the club shuts down? What you gonna do when the club shuts down? After the scene dies
