Across the Burnside Bridge before anyone shot their movies there

We hid from the whipping rain when we had run out of cocaine

Dispatch down to Plaid Pantry, two on point and two on sentry

Ah, the joys that the lesser days bring make you throw back your heads and sing

God bless all petty thieves with tins of oysters up their sleeves

Feast when you can and dream when there's nothing to feast on

Across a different bridge today, over the river and down Broadway
Feels so good to have you here, some of you will be dead next year
I see your destinies above you, like angels who don't love you
Let them kiss you and hold you tight, long as the money's right

God bless all my old friends, and God bless me, too - why pretend?

God bless the guys from my old neighborhood

Gone past the point where any blessings can do them any good

Attach the C4 where you must, disappear in a cloud of dust
But spare a thought for what it covers up, pour a triple and raise your cup
We were here once, me and my friends, but we destroyed all of the evidence
And vanished into the night, at least we got that one right

G                    A          D                 G   
God bless us, all of us, we who learn to shun the light
                             A
God bless all vampires every night
D              G
Feast when you can
D              G
Feast when you can
D              G
Feast when you can
D              G
Feast when you can
