The 502 Songtext
the only difference between your god and me
was when you turned your back on both of us
i guess i seemed a little more mad than he
but what's a god, but a crutch?
and i knew just what i had to do
but i still had to convince you just the same
i know you never were close with the truth
but i figured you'd cross paths someday
(chorus)
tell your mom tell your sister too
you've gone swimming at the 502
and you won't be back for a while
you like to act so damn tough
i'm the only one who calls your bluff
oh, how i'll miss your smile
i'm gonna catch you while i can
i'll spread your old bones out where we swam
all those nights
when the moon was our guide
i'm gonna tear you limb from limb
where you start is not where you'll end
but oh
isn't that life?
(chorus)
tell your mom tell your sister too
you've gone drowning at the 502
and you won't be back for a while
you like to act so damn tough
well i'm the only one who called your bluff
well oh, how i miss your smile.
tell your mom, tell your sister
tell the whole damn town
tell my love, i won't miss her
i'm just used to the sound
well i've got a right mind
to leave your secret behind
cut that ribbon from the bank
let that river be your grave
but i'm a nicer guy
than you give me credit for
so until then they'll explore.
