With Whiskey

He believed in you

Remember when he said

Words are always hard to manage

Can't get out of bed

Now hear him

Through the empty city

He swept you off your feet

He's sweeping up the dust now, baby

Drink your whiskey neat

Come on, old lovers

Fall down in the grass

Wake up with the breeze

And gather around the torn-up pictures

Join the family

Hold the blankets tighter

Turn on all the lights

Mummify the lovers

Burn them in the night

Gather our belongings

Throw them from the train

Let go of the railings

Let go of the reins

Take on me, take me on

Take me on, take on me

Come on old lovers

Fall down in the grass

Wake up with the breeze

And gather around the torn-up pictures

Join the family

Now hear him

Through the empty city

He swept you off your feet

He's sweeping up the dust now, baby

Drink your whiskey neat

Hold the blankets tighter

Turn on all the lights

Mummify the lovers

Burn them in the night

Gather our belongings

Throw them from the train

Let go of the railings

Let go of the reins

Take on me, take me on

Take me on, take on me
