Lyrics: 
 
St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway 
Up on the boulevard like a zipgun on parade 
Light of a sillohette                                   (Intro) 
He's insubordinate 
Coming at you on account of One Two 
One Two Three Four! 
 
My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out 
Suicide commando that your momma talked about           (Verse 1) 
King of the forty theives and I'm here to represent 
The needle in the vein of the establishment 
 
I'm the patron saint of the denial               
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal             (Chorus) 
 
Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope  
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe              
Raised in the city under a halo of lights               (Verse 2) 
The product of war and fear that we've been victimized 
 
I'm the patron saint of the denial 
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal             (Chorus) 
 
You talkin' to me? 
I'll give you something to cry about.                   (Interlude) 
ST. JIMMY 
 
My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun 
I am the one that's from the way outside now 
A teenage assasin executing some fun 
In the cult of the life of crime now 
                                                        (Bridge) 
I'd really hate to say it but I told you so 
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down old boy 
Welcome to the club and give me some blood 
I'm the resident leader at the lost and found 
 
It's comedy and tragedy 
It's St. Jimmy                                          (End) 
And that's my name 
...and don't wear it out!
