hey barkeep, whats keepin you, keep pourin drinks
bloody fingers on a purple knife/Flamingo drinking
from a cocktail glass/I’m on the lawn with someone
else’s wife/Admire the view from up on top of the mast
it's out where your memories lie
When I open my eyes, I was blind as can be
And to give a man luck, he must fall in the sea
And a love like ours, my dear/Is best measured when
it’s down/And I never buy umbrellas/Cause there’s
always one around
Oh, my hands are strong/I'll take any man here
If it's worth the going/it's worth the ride
There was thunder, there was lightning, then the
stars went out/And the moon fell from the sky, it
rained mackerel, it rained trout
Cause road kill has it's seasons just like anything
It's possums in the autumn and it's farm cats in the
spring
I cross my wooden leg, and I swear on my glass eye
How do your pistol and your Bible and your sleeping
pills go?/Are you still jumping out of windows in
expensive clothes?/Well, I fell in love with your
sailor’s mouth and your wounded eyes/You better get
down on the floor, don’t you know this is war
There are things I’ve done I can’t erase/I wanna look
in the mirror and see another face/I said never, but
Im doin it again/I wanna walk away and start over
again
Well shes whiskey in a teacup/She gives blondes a
lousy name/Shes a Bonzai Aphrodite/And a ticket back
to Spain/Shes a hard way to go/And there aint no way
to stop/Everytime you play the red/the black is
coming up
I look 47 but I'm 24/well they shooed me away from
here the time before/Turned their backs and they
locked their doors/I'm watchin' TV in the window of a
furniture store
Close your eyes and count to ten/I will go and hide
but then/Be sure to find me, I want you to find me/
And we'll play all over again
What I miss, you won't believe
shoveling snow and raking leaves
God took the stars and he tossed 'em
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
A long black overcoat will show no stain
The face forgives the mirror/The worm forgives the
plow/The question begs the answer/Can you forgive me
somehow
Will you loose the flowers Hold on to the vase?
Will you wipe all those teardrops away from your face?
I can’t help feeling as I close the door
I have done all of this...many times before
Where the wailing of a baby/meets the footsteps of
the dead/We're all mad here
And I must be insane, to go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice, I fell through the ice
of "Alice"
