Letra de Forgetfulness for Sale

[Verse 1]
I saw a neon invitation flashing red and green temptation
And the sign read "we've got whiskey, wine and ales
Come and step into our shadow, leave outside whatever matters
Tonight we've got forgetfulness for sale"
[Verse 2]
I heard the jukebox, saw the dance floor
I said this is my last chance for happiness
For after all, all else has failed
So I gave the man my money, some woman whispered honey
And I thought I'd found forgetfulness for sale
[Verse 3]
In the bargain basement of the honky tonk
Where they teach you not to think, and for awhile you don't
I laughed and danced and drank and the all the world was gay
Till morning came and all the numbness wore away
[Verse 4]
Now I'm right back down to hurtin'
So afraid of I've learned for certain
That forgetting you is all to no avail
I'd pay any price their asking
But it's just too big a-tasking
No one's got enough forgetfulness for sale
[Verse 4]
I'd pay any price their asking
But it's just too big a tasking
No one's got enough forgetfulness for sale
