After The Scene Dies Lyrics - Big To-do - Drive By Truckers

The graffiti on the backstage wall 

Gets painted over in a muted shade 

And the club becomes an Old Navy 

After the scene dies 

When the last six-string slinger 

Has to bow down for insurance 

And accept the mundane 

After the scene dies 

When the last one leaves 

And the last note fades 

And the last dream's been put away 

Shut the light off, shut the light off 

When the front-man turns to Jesus 

And the drummer moves away 

I'll still be doing what pleases me 

After the scene dies 

When the bartender passes and the owner cashes out 

And they box up the glasses 

And they take the sound system down 

Guitars back in their cases, don't forget my fries 

After the scene dies 

When the last one leaves 

And the last note fades 

And the last dream's been put away 

Shut the light off, shut the light off 

After the scene dies 

After the scene dies 

After the scene dies 

After the scene dies 

What you gonna do when the club shuts down? 

What you gonna do when the club shuts down? 

What you gonna do when the club shuts down? 

After the scene dies
