Bitch's Brew Lyrics - Nomeansno

Fog and night after a thirsty day 

It was a hot sun beating on an empty plate, you know 

That damn dog's barking at the hissing cars 

I hear whispers from afar 

What was that? what did you say? does what really matter anyway? 

Dark eyes staring at the wall 

Mascara crumbling beneath the fall of eyelids drooping down 

Answer me! what did you say? why do you have to be this way? 

"What way is that", was her reply 

She smiled and raised her big brown eyes 

She said, "i don't give a damn what you do 

And I really don't care what happens to you 

You can whistle in the dark if you remember the tune 

And recite your litany of gloom and doom 

But there is one thing you can do for me..." 

She shifted her ass and spread her knees 

She said, " I don't give a damn what you 

Do just pour me a glass of that bitch's brew 

No, I really don't care what happens to you do 

I want a long cold glass of that bitch's brew" 

The rain is coming down in sheets 

Windshield's trickling jagged streaks 

It's a scripture written on tinted glass 

Hissing like a snake in the grass 

Something hard lies on the seat 

My lips move but I don't speak 

My eyes are glued to that blinking sign 

And I just sit there, biding my time 

"Cheap rooms" it says "open all the time" 

Handcuffs ring a tightened fist 

Lipstick smears a bloodied lip 

What's mine is mine, that's what 

I know to have and hold, to keep control 

That's all I know 

That's all I know and I don't really care what happens next 

This has nothing to do with sex 

I just need something to see me through 

Something to keep me from coming unglued 

I don't know what Il do, wait,... I know what Il do 

I know what Il do Il pop the cork on that bitch's brew 

Il take a long stiff pull on that bitch's brew 

I don't want no more I don't want no more 

The bartender dragged me across the floor 

Don't worry, man, that guy is long gone 

"Maybe you shouldn't called him a fucking moron 

You shouldn't start things you can't see through 

Wow, that guy sure made a mess of you" 

Now I lay me down to sleep and pray the lord my soul to keep 

If I should die before I wake, you'll know I had a belly ache 

"Shut up, man, shut up, man, you're brain is fried 

Now don't stare at me with that look in your eyes" 

What's mine is mine what's mine is mine 

Said the frog to the snake as he crawled from the slime 

My brain is fine, my brain, my brain, my brain is fine 

How's that for a goddamned coupled rhyme 

"Look man, why don't you just get on this stool 

You ain't no poet, you're just a fucking fool" 

I don't know what Il do I don't know what Il do 

"Try doing what's right 

Seek serenity in a world of delights 

Till boom, boom, boom, out go the lights 

Till boom, boom, boom, out go the lights" 

Yea, that's going to help me to see me through 

Like that's going to keep me from coming unglued 

"Look man, I really don't give a fuck what you do 

And I don't really care what happens to you 

But there's maybe one little thing that I can do 

Il pour you a shot of that bitch's brew 

Yea, one quick belt of that bitch's brew 

Then you've have to leave, we're closing 

You know what they say 

You don't have to go home 

But you can't stay here"
