lyrics

I see you’re drinking again
What is it this time?
Your heart is broken, or somebody cheated you
Well, I can’t say I’m sorry
A new version of the same old story

You’re drinking slower
And you’re sinking lower in your La-Z-Boy
As you try to focus in on anything
Your eyes are dull
At last you’ve stumbled into sleep

Sleep like a baby, twitching like a cat
Your fingers shake as you chase that bottle right along the bar
Your throat is so dry
It’s been burning all night
Your eyelids flutter
In the liminal light
And then the dream disappears

You wake up angry
Spirited away
From the lounge of the Paradise Hotel
To the dirty cot where you lay
Another sad drunk in the newly breaking day
