Will there be any bartenders up there in Heaven?. Will the pubs never close, will the glass never drain. No more D.T.'s and no shakes. And no horrors.
For whose sake. For whose sake. Did I deliver. Sighs of love and vows forever?. . For whose sake. For whose sake. Did I learn real from true?. . Fast times.
Who shook the stars from her eyes. Who shook the stars from her eyes. Who took the shine. Made water out of wine. And left her alone in the world. . Who put a cloak round her soul.
For the sake of Mary I kicked the reds. Junked the juice, drink coffee instead. Straightened my teeth, bent my back. Cut my friends dead from the old rat pack.
For whose sake. For whose sake. Did I deliver. Sighs of love and vows forever?. . For whose sake. For whose sake. Did I learn real from true?. . Fast times.
Jackknife with a precious load. Spills it's guts all over the road. Excuse me, I had to smile. Lost my grip too for a while. Easy there, steady now. Easy there, steady now.
Big Mac, small Mac, burger and fries. Sheave 'em in boxes all the same size. Easy on the mustard, heavy on the sauce. Double for the fat boy eats like a horse.
If you don't want me I'll dry my tears and move on. If you don't want me I'll dry my tears and move on. . You treated me just good enough until now. But if you're tired of me I'll get over you somehow.
He's smiling at me. The man with the blood on his hands. The man with the snakes in his shoes. Am I supposed to love him?. He's smiling at me. The hero who chained up the dogs.
When the party hit full swing, I saw you come reeling in. You had that six pack in a stranglehold. Now you stagger, now you sway, why don't you fall the other way?.
That gorilla you're dancing with. May not have too long to live. He's putting his hands in the wrong places. It's time to rearrange his face. He's gonna dance with me instead.
Out in the desert there's a soldier lying dead. Vultures pecking the eyes out of his head. Another day that could have been me there instead. Nobody loves me here.
Don't go walking down Chapel Street. Down Chapel Street they'll jump you. Cut your throat as soon as give you the eye. Those wholesome girls down Chapel Street.
Love that holds its breath for fear. Of scaring love away. I rush my lines. I care too deeply. O will she keep me. For idle games. . I stare into. I stare into.
Broken glass, a broken chair. A lamp hangs by a thread. Scattered pages, spattered walls. Mayhem on the bed. . Peace is gone and love is gone. And darkness wins the day.
Was a cowboy I knew in South Texas. His face was burnt deep by the sun. Part history, part sage, part Mexican. He was there when Poncho Villa was young.
This time you hurt me. You really did it this time you did. Did you count your fingers. After shaking my hand, God forbid. . Riff raff crawling from the slums.
Here I am in your room going through your stuff. Said you'd be gone five minutes, that's time enough. Here in your drawer there's lacy things. Old credit cards and beads and bangles and rings.
Well there's a house in an alley. In the squats and low-rise. Of a town with no future. But that's where my future lies. . It's a secret, but no secret.
I started to cry, they put gin in my cup. I started to crawl, and they swaddled me up. I got up and run, they said, "Easy, son. Play up, play the game".
