Letra de Here's to You, Nick Adams

As the seconds scrape by to the end of an hour
As an arrogant son slipped away
We drank to the wake of the death of a day
Purged the strength to recall the distaste
And with the night came the ease to waste all our sins
With the new ones conceived in their stead
When our pockets are empty and our bellies' are full
Only then will we'll retreat to our beds
And I would like to stay for a while
Spin a story or two and forget about life
This drink makes me sick but I'll drink it with you
And live like Hemingway for an hour or two
And from the first came the last
And the clouds rolling in
Crossed the city to get to the sea
And we sat on our thrones
Taking blows from this terrible gin
We can go toe-to-toe until one of us gives in
And hour after hour, each one to their own
Reasons towering into the sky
Bankrupt hearts and forgotten souls
And misunderstandings and getting cold
And I would like to stay for a while
Spin a story or two and forget about life
This drink makes me sick but I'll drink it with you
And live like Hemingway for an hour or two
And I can't believe this thorn in my side
It keeps pulling me back as I'm trying to survive
We don't drink for the sake, we don't drink for the taste
We drink for the smile every once in a while
It might dare to put on our face
And I would like to stay for a while
Spin a story or two and forget about life
This drink makes me sick but I'll drink it with you
Making out like we had something better to do
