The Death of St. Jimmy Lyrics > American Idiot

ST. JIMMY:
My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only
If you are coming home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
You taught me how to live

In the streets of shame
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain
There's no sign of hope
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope

ST. JIMMY and JOHNNY:
There's a glow of light
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night
Bearing gifts and trust
The fixture in the city of lust

ST. JIMMY:
What the hell's your name
What's your pleasure, what is your pain
Do you dream too much?

ST. JIMMY and JOHNNY:
Do you think what you need is a crutch?
In the crowd of pain
St. Jimmy comes without any shame
He says "we're f***ed up"
But we're not the same
And Mom and dad are the ones you can blame

ST. JIMMY:
Jimmy died today
He blew his brains out into the bay
In the state of mind

ST. JIMMY and JOHNNY
In my own private suicide
