lyrics

Bonfire, West 3rd

Verse 1:

Walk down past the drifters, past the hookers, and the bums
On the other side of Grove Street, there’s a fire in the slums
Jackson found an open barrel, filled ‘er up with scraps of wood
Mr. Ted’s hooch is damn near feral, now the fire’s burnin’ good

Chorus:

So have a shot of courage, satisfaction guaranteed
From a bottle of redemption, as we light one for Lou Reed

Verse 2:

Watch the flames light up the sky, make yourself at home
Pull on up, take a tug, no one needs to feel alone
There’s some magic in this fire, cookin’ up the night
Me and the boys have formed a choir, ‘cause now we see the light

Chorus:

So have a shot of courage, satisfaction guaranteed
From a bottle of redemption, as we light one for Lou Reed

Bridge:

The sun, it croaked a while ago, the alley’s getting dim
It’s almost time to grab some sleep, before the chills set in

Chorus:

So have a shot of courage, satisfaction guaranteed
From a bottle of redemption, as we light one for Lou Reed
