Take your books off of your shelf and say a little prayer to yourself
Grab your coat and grab your gown and follow your dreams down
Down the stairs and to the gate, hurry up don’t make them wait
A back pat, a handshake, hurry up they’re all watching you
One more hug, one last embrace, one to leave, one more to take
Here it was now here it’s gone, came the day to take back the dawn
And he did without a fight, without the help of a restless night
Like you, you may return but you will never be back
Back at home, nothing was as loud
As when Pomp & Circumstance got you down
Fold the box top with the clothes, write ‘Attic’ then tape it closed
A locket? Hold it near then cry the kind only you will ever hear
Here’s the last of it I’d say, no one’s ‘round so let it out, okay?
Let it get to when it’s where, if they were you wouldn’t even care
A back tap as trumpets they start to sound
But don’t let Pomp & Circumstance get you down
Don’t let it get you down
Don’t let it get you down

At first I was a bit hesitant, thinking "This sounds like Paul Westerberg fronting Leatherface." and then I thought: "Paul Westerberg fronting Leatherface would be AWESOME." System_Error

The kind of album that accompanies any night out on the town, backyard BBQ, kitchen floor dance session, drunken stooper, next day hangover. Southern party rock and roll. Any fan of Lucero should eat this up! Bucky
