Saint IX Lyrics

About 5pm on Thursday night in Isla Vista

Leaves were falling down while we were setting up the yard

Speaker cabinets borrowed never grounded all the power

Didn't care too much what the neighbors would say

Saint IX Saint IX

You were always there to listen to the songs that I would bring

It was a scene it was the noise

Of everywhere I've been you were my favorite place to sing

Saint IX Saint IX

Together and misguided in that space we felt alive

The day you closed the doors a little piece of my life died

8 o'clock a stream of local punk rock kids and college rebels

Come rolling through with red cups, cigarettes and speed

They never bust up anything there was always a respect there

The outlaws and the intellects were having things their way

Saint IX Saint IX

You were always there to listen to the songs that I would bring

It was a scene it was the noise

Of everywhere I've been you were my favorite place to sing

Saint IX Saint IX

Together and misguided in that space we felt alive

The day you closed the doors a little piece of my life died

Late nights turned into mornings Riff Raff My Ass THO

We were unapologetic we had youth we had the spirit

Tell me now where did it go?

Faced death and faced hardship but we faced it all together

Not sure where most of you are right now

A cool evening breeze off the ocean still reminds me

Of the community that danced in circles on the lawn

Over at Saint IX Saint IX

You were always there to listen to the songs that I would bring

It was a scene it was the noise

Of everywhere I've been you were my favorite place to sing

Saint IX Saint IX

Together and misguided in that space we felt alive

The day you closed the doors a little piece of my life died
