Nobody's Going Home

Chorus

Bang the pot the parade is late

Grin at the gutter it grins back

Everybody stagger everybody sway

We ain't going home no way

Post-Chorus

Go go go go

(Nobody's going home)

Go go go go

(Nobody's going home)

Verse 1

Woke up in a borrowed coat

Somebody's birthday cake on my shoe

The band is three kids and a busted stove

And I am the loudest one here

They hand me a spoon and a dented crown

I bang till my knuckles turn blue

Pre-Chorus

And the rain comes sideways down

And the rain comes sideways down

Chorus

Bang the pot the parade is late

Grin at the gutter it grins back

Everybody stagger everybody sway

We ain't going home no way

Post-Chorus

Go go go go

(Nobody's going home)

Go go go go

(Nobody's going home)

Verse 2

My brother's asleep in the tub

My mother is dancing with no one at all

The streetlight is flickering gold

I trip on a trumpet and laugh

Half the block is out in the road

Singing like the roof's coming off

Pre-Chorus

And the rain comes sideways down

And the rain comes sideways down

Chorus

Bang the pot the parade is late

Grin at the gutter it grins back

Everybody stagger everybody sway

We ain't going home no way

Bridge

Hallelujah hallelujah

For the wrecked and the roaring

Hallelujah hallelujah

For the ones still out at four

(Mm mm mm)

Hallelujah hallelujah

Drop

Go go go go

(Nobody's going home)

Go go go go

(Nobody's going home)

Chorus

Bang the pot the parade is late

Grin at the gutter it grins back

Everybody stagger everybody sway

We ain't going home no way

Post-Chorus

Go go go go

(Nobody's going home)

Go go go go

(Nobody's going home)
