|
It gets loneliest at night |
|
Down at the liquor store |
|
Beneath the neon sky |
|
The moonlight |
|
Six a.m. the floor comes alive with lites |
|
The pans dried up so tight |
|
With hardened beans |
|
And we're hungry |
|
So i lean on you sometimes |
|
Just to see you're still there |
|
These feet cant take the weight of one |
|
Much less two |
|
We hit concrete |
|
We were born into this mess |
|
I know i painted you a prettier picture,baby |
|
We were run out on a rail |
|
Fell from the wagon to the night train |
|
I kissed the bottle |
|
I should've been kissing you |
|
You wake up to an empty night |
|
With tears for two |
|
Cigarettes they fill the gaps |
|
In our empty days |
|
In our broken teeth |
|
Say mister, can you spare a dime |
|
Some change could make a change |
|
Could buy some time |
|
Some freedom |
|
Or an ear to hear my story |
|
It's all i've got |
|
My fiction beats the hell out of my truth |
|
A palm upturned burnt blue |
|
Don't call it sunburn |
|
You've been shaking on the job |
|
Just one drink ahead of your past |
|
There's a white light coming up |
|
You draw the blinds hoping it'll pass |
|
I kissed the bottle |
|
I should've been kissing you |
|
You wake up to an empty night |
|
With tears for two |
|
I kissed the bottle |
|
I should've been kissing you |
|
You wake up to an empty night |
|
With tears for two |
|
With tears for two |
