I just finished putting my seventh drink away
A week now since her death and a drink for every day
Soon it will be fifty and I won't be worrying about ulcers
No longer do I dream and my mind is far away
I'm thinking like an animal - almost unconsciously
Soon I'll be nocturnal and knocking over your garbage
And I'll walk and I'll find solace
And the sun will shine upon me like a mother keep me warm - my pulse
goes...
I see hallucinations of figures like yourself
I feel like I'm on acid and you're alive and well
Hope you get well soon - wait 'til you see your new grandson
We'll walk and we'll part in a nice way
Because I don't think I was ready when you left so suddenly
And if I could just set this date up
It would out my mind at ease to say the things I had failed to say
And my pulse would slow hut hut hut hut hut hut...
Dirty water
Drink it all down - smell the surprise
I just finished putting my fiftieth drink away
I think I've been patient and waiting for this day
I'll have another before I go into the party
I think I've been patient in waiting for this day
After putting my fiftieth drink away
Forget the girl and take the drink like a real man
And I walked and I found solace
And the sun it shined upon me like a mother kept me warm
And I walked and I found solace
And the sun it shined upon me like a mother kept me warm
And my pulse goes hut hut hut hut hut hut...
And the sun it shined upon me like a mother kept me warm...
