Barstool And Dreamers Lyrics - Widespread Panic

The barstools built for dreamers 

We'll fit fine and find 

All the worlds dreams have died 

But tonight they're only taking thirsty people 

Who've been pullin' on their drinks 

From a glass that lies a bar length wide 

And in the drink there swim the swimmers 

And those whose swims have dried 

Take another look, take another pull 

Take another pour, take another pull 

Before you take a ride 

Heir to an open barstool, right there's one by "Mary the Fool" 

Mary sees the bartender's knees 

And she says that it's a bottle that she was born to be 

And I say, "that's cool.. just right, right for a fool." 

Thinkin' whiskey, she bought me a drink 

I won't cross a word of what the lady thinks 

Pray I don't cross what the lady thinks 

She's been thinking out too loud though 

This time I can't hear the pinball machine 

Well there's a birdman playing tiny little sideways bongos 

Pulling all those words down, down, down 

Look at how the numbers glow 

In the glass there rolls the iron ball 

And a quarter states the toll that's all (that's all) 

You take another look, take another pull 

Take another pour, take another pull 

Before you take a chance 

Look at your hands, they're just right for a new kinda dance 

Just forget what your bodies just done 

And ride all the waves that the drums rest on 

Like the smallest babies do, ya' know the little newborn babies do 

If there's some food that the moon feeds on 

A baby won't hold it back, won't hold it back
