Somebody burned the Junction down,
A few years back they had changed its name
to Rock Steady to make it more appealing
to the younger crowd instead of the derelict,
broken souls that had called it home
but everybody still referred to it as the Junction
Somebody burned the Junction down,
It wasnt really all thatJust one step up
from a hole in the wall filled with dope fiends,
and drunks, and rogues with no other place to go,
no desire but to kill the pain of living
Somebody burned the Junction down,
I wonder if the Rottweillers were still on the roof
the way they used to be when a snowstorm hit town
back before the original owners got busted
for drugs? I think that was what it was
Somebody burned the Junction down,
I remember being scared to death the first time
I walked through its doors at the tender age of fifteen,
they didnt even card you back then, they didnt care
if you had money, you were old enough, no questions asked
Somebody burned the Junction down,
no more fights in the mens room, over some whore
no more stabbings in the parking lot for the same reason
I heard once that one of the one-time owners had even kneecapped
some poor b***ard with a .38 behind the fence out back
Somebody burned the Junction down,
It wasnt much, but there was something else
besides the smell of fear and hatred that
was always hanging in the air, like the reaper
deciding who to take today It was fun
I cant believe Somebody burned the Junction down.
