Story behind the song

This song says it all, ... for me anyway!

Lyrics

Last nite they took a taxi on their way to never land, 
Money in their pockets, Lysol in their hand, 
They're the bums of this town and they understand,
Tommorow they'll be walkin, but they don't give a damn.

The old CN station she be calling out their names, 
A place of shelter where no one takes the blame,
for the pile of lysol cans, 
or the pants that are so stained.

Yes, they hide from a society that doesn't understand, 
They're the bums of this towm and they don't give a damn,
They found themselves some heven, in a lysol can.

I played for Charlie, asked him how he liked this song,
The old bum said it was a fine one, but it didn't last that long,
Frank said, write another verse, and stick it where it belongs.

Now I recognize my father, myself and my son,
In the eyes of every drunk, in the tears of every bum, 
And sometimes I wonder, Am I the only one? 

Repeat first three verses, ...
