Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Plastic beads in the gutter Purple Green Gold on the floor Last night’s crown in the bathroom King of nothing On all fours Glitter stuck to my cheekbones Sticky rum breath Busted knees We were saints of the side streets Praying hard to bad ideas [Chorus] Ash on Bourbon Wash it down We burn it all Then kiss the ground Forty days to starve the stain Cross on my face Mud in my veins Ash on Bourbon Broken choir We trade our fever for a fire Give up the flesh Choke on regret But we ain’t done with our debt [Verse 2] Masks off Sky looking sober Parade ghosts haunt the tracks Plastic cups in the churchyard Choir kids in paper hats Line up Hungover halos Eyes red Hands still shaking Father draws a dusty cross Over all the rules we’re breaking [Chorus] Ash on Bourbon Wash it down We burn it all Then kiss the ground Forty days to starve the stain Cross on my face Mud in my veins Ash on Bourbon Broken choir We trade our fever for a fire Give up the flesh Choke on regret But we ain’t done with our debt [Bridge] Fish on Friday Bite my tongue (yeah) Dream of grease I used to breathe I’m chewing on all my hunger now But the hunger’s chewing me I swear I’ll be better this season Till the trumpets call again I’ll crawl from the pew to the pavement To go bleed with my old friends (hey!) [Chorus] Ash on Bourbon Wash it down We burn it all Then kiss the ground Forty days to starve the stain Cross on my face Mud in my veins Ash on Bourbon Broken choir We trade our fever for a fire Give up the flesh Choke on regret We keep sin cheap But it’s debt on debt
Tags
rock, Dirty ’90s-style grunge rock, male vocals. Fuzzy, detuned guitars through cranked tube amps, snare-heavy drums, and a growling bass locked to a mid‑tempo stomp. Verses stay tense and half‑muttered, exploding into a shout‑along chorus with doubled vocals and gang shouts. Bridge strips to bass and vocal before crashing back with walls of distorted guitar and a raw, open‑throated final hook., grunge
