Reconcile to the relief 
consumed in sacred ground for me 
there wasn't always a place to go 
but there was always an urgent need to belong  
 
all these bands and 
all these people 
all these friends and 
we were equals but 
what you gonna do 
when everybody goes on without you?  
 
to the end to the end i'll journey to the end  
 
started in 87 ended in 89 
got a garage or an amp we'll play anytime 
it was just the 4 of us, yeah man the core of us 
too much attention unavoidably destroyed us 
4 kids on tour, 3000 miles in a 4-door car not know what was goin' on 
we got a million years 
tourin' out like this hell 
no no premonition coulda seen this  
 
my friend came from far away 
from new orleans into the east bay 
he said this is a mecca i said this ain't no mecca man, this place's fucked 
3 months go by, he had no home he had no food he's all alone 
matty said fool me once shame on you didn't fool me twice 
he went back to new orleans
