[Intro]
Cheap champagne saints
Raise your glass again
Cheap champagne saints
We don’t need to pretend

[Verse]
We got paid in drink tickets and gasoline
Played every hellhole between Vine and the dream
The bass player slept in a van out back
The drummer sold shirts from a paper sack

But the kids came running when they heard our name
Like a dirty little church with a rock and roll flame
Mascara tears and a backstage kiss
Everybody wanted one night like this

[Pre-Chorus]
No silver spoons
No holy gates
Just broken hearts
And borrowed faith

[Chorus]
We are cheap champagne saints
Dancing where the devil waits
We are neon-born and leather-laced
With midnight running down our face
Raise it high
Let it break
To the wild ones fate can’t tame
We are cheap champagne saints

[Verse]
A girl from Fresno with a tattooed wrist
Said your songs make me feel like I exist
A runaway kid with a busted lip
Sang every word from the balcony rail

The club owner cursed but he counted cash
The cops rolled by and the windows flashed
We lit up the street with our after-show choir
Singing out loud by a trashcan fire

[Pre-Chorus]
No golden road
No soft escape
Just hungry mouths
And crooked grace

[Chorus]
We are cheap champagne saints
Dancing where the devil waits
We are neon-born and leather-laced
With midnight running down our face
Raise it high
Let it break
To the wild ones fate can’t tame
We are cheap champagne saints

[Instrumental]
Gang vocals shout
Guitars trade bluesy leads
Drums hit wide and loose
Crowd claps on the beat

[Bridge]
Here’s to the losers
Here’s to the queens
Here’s to the sinners
Living on dreams

Here’s to the lovers
Here’s to the scars
Here’s to the kids
Who were born for guitars

[Breakdown]
Raise your glass
Break the chain
Laugh too loud
Love the pain

[Build-up]
From the gutter to the lights
From the bruises to the stage
We’re the hymn of Friday night
Written on a dirty page

[Chorus]
We are cheap champagne saints
Dancing where the devil waits
We are neon-born and leather-laced
With midnight running down our face
Raise it high
Let it break
To the wild ones fate can’t tame
We are cheap champagne saints

[Chorus]
We are cheap champagne saints
No one here gets out unchanged
We are gasoline and grace
With a smile on a dangerous face
Raise it high
Let it break
To the wild ones fate can’t tame
We are cheap champagne saints

[Outro]
Cheap champagne saints
Raise your glass again
Cheap champagne saints
We don’t need to pretend
