Sister City - We Build Fires Lyrics

Ice on the streets
Wool on our feet
We swig whiskey
Straight from the bottle
And nobody cares about germs
Because when we're together we're a weird family
We build fires every night
We huddle around the hearth
We share our warmth
But it never is enough

We talk about getting the f*ck out of this house, the f*ck out of this town
But God, I guess we just don't know how
And man, we drink, but why do we drink?
Do we do it to feel good,
Or do we do it to forget?
I don't remember
And it doesn't matter
I don't remember
And it doesn't matter

Some nights this house is a home
But other nights it is a tomb
Some times at parties I'm alone
Like I'm just sitting in my room
I see us swimming in the waves

I see us sipping in the shade
I see us driving out to shows
I see our arms out windows
But not today
It's just too cold

I don't mind it here
As long as my friends are near
I don't mind the weather
And I could give a f*ck about the city
We could be anywhere
Be in Isesaki or Tlaquepaque
It wouldn't matter to me
What was I mad about?
Why was I angry?
I don't remember
And it doesn't matter
Somebody get me a drink
