[Verso 1]
I get my whiskey from a well
Except on holidays, then it's the top shelf
But tonight I don't mind if I spend a little more
'Cause you are a tolerant woman and the world is at war
I know you witnessed my decline
You used to push back the darkness like a floodlight
But tonight that is a secret like the soul of a whore
That if you want to have fun you'll just have to ignore
Now let my troubles solve themselves
I used to get involved but I'm just no help
But tonight let's pretend that we are just like we were
Let me stay until the morning; I will sleep on the floor
[Coro 1]
And we can talk in circles, no dollar figures
Just what is owed or paid
And you can make predictions
I know you see the future and I agree
And we agree tonight's not happening
[Verso 2]
When I got dry as a desert I got mean
I was as lonely and empty as a canteen
With no anesthetic you are bound to be sore
But tonight I am drinking all peaceful and warm
And just when I got fed up with that grey sky
The sun came out of nowhere like a bar fight
And it knocked out the wind and it bruised me with light
And I felt grateful for living just like I feel tonight
But I know you feel safer in a group
Where you could be anyone or they could be you
But tonight we'll take risks that you can afford
You still have bars on your windows and a hole in your door
[Coro 2]
So we can talk in circles around a dirty mirror
Night trickles down our throats
And we could make a timeline to last our whole lives
But we don't know--
But no one knows what's further up the road
Just wait and see, just wait and see
All in time, all in time
