lyrics

Every storefront has an iron curtain
Dealers already lurkin'
Almost everybody's inside
Welcome to the city that always sleeps
Which kinda gives me the creeps
because it's only 6:45

What happened to the night life?
Why is Dunkin' Donuts closed
The streets are grey and blah
but somewhere you'll find ska...
Yeah you can usually find ska

Steam belching up from the pavement
With just a hint of spearmint
that I probably shouldn't inhale
Stepped at the Blarney Stone to pick up a round
But down the street there's the sound
of a truly horrible band

It's just the same two chords
Attracting hordes of screaming fans
I might not understand
But one thing's for sure...
I'm never gonna tune again

Tuesday it's like a ghost town but
Friday we're playin at the Pontiac and
everything's alright, breathe life into the night
Come in check out our show
You've got nowhere else to go
you're in for a surprise, we probably won't suck

Get a Philadelphiatic education
and you'll find the locations
where the music plays every night
It really seemed like there was nothing to do
Walking around after 2, But then again...

Where else can you buy cheesesteaks
Twenty-Four hours a day
So let's brave the streets together
And go in search of ska...
Yeah you can usually find ska

Tuesday it's like a ghost town but
Friday we're playin at the Pontiac and
everything's alright, breathe life into the night
Come in check out our show
You've got nowhere else to go
you're in for a surprise, we probably won't suck
