Codeine
Pour me another one; drink it down, drink it downOne for the road then get the hell out of this townI'll be home soon any day now, I can touch it with my handsBut it just slips through the cracks like grains of sandLove ain't enough if it don't get you through the daySo I'll make a new plan and I'll carry you awayThere's a [holy dove] for both of us, it's safe here in the groundYou'll see all the other [haters] will take 'em downTell me another lie; lay down for me, lay downJust like your pretty legs that you spread all through townDo you take me for a simple man, you know word gets aroundThis smells of betrayal, I know it wellSo I take the last town to the train I call homeMeet up with misery, the only friend I knowAnd I'll pull through my remaining days with codeine for the painAnd dream that it might some day go awayTold me that you figured the lord, but you asked me I'd hold the swordWhen morning comes, you'll [take a run at it]Well it's true, they say you never win, [with blaspheme is] a grateful sinYou did it on your own, but you stayed around to defend itPour me another one; drink it down, oh drink it downI'm not a booze hound, but I'll order one more roundAnd I'll drink through my remaining days and slowly waste awayI know that you've already done the same From Letras Mania
