Hal Johnson Smokes Cigarettes - The Flatliners

We’ve gone to all this trouble of tearing our hair out

Those shadows once oh so legendary have disappeared and fucking faded out

At the foot of these graves of our fallen heroes the feeling is fraudulent

As humiliation sets in

When all you’ve idolized is dead and gone, you’ll realize you’ve won

When all you’ve built yourself up on has crashed and burned…

We’re digging graves for old memories

And it’s safe to say that I’ll be home late

And as those dreams of yours, they fizzle out

Just remember we’ve already gone down in history

If your feet never touch the ground, and you keep your head in those clouds

You know it’ll rain someday

Surprise, surprise, this is the end

There’s nowhere to go from here

Did you ever think the dead you’d bury wouldn’t be your friends?

Had it crossed your mind that your heroes are failures in the end?

Surprise, surprise, this is the end
