Drunken Lament

Oh!

Self-loathing is quaint

You told me, showing restraint

Now you're gone, and I'm lost

In the swells, I am tossed

Bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog

You said forever

Tell me why can't you stay?

I'd ride in your pocket all day

But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change

I'm throwing a party tonight

I drink more than a sailor I'm sure

Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies

Oh...

Drunk since Saturday

Without you, without restraint

(Ahhh)

It still stings where you stung

Water swings in my lungs

I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away

Tell me forever

Tell me you'll come back to stay

I'd ride in your pocket all day

But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change

I'm throwing a party tonight

I drink more than a sailor I'm sure

Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies

You were the mermaid for me

Till one day, you found your feet

Leaving me

In the God-awful bottle, a model of heartache and grief

I'd ride in your pocket all day

But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change

I'm throwing a party tonight

I drink more than a sailor I'm sure

Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies
