Fuelled by alcohol,shooting out words like a rocket,like a prophet out of | |
Babylonmethod acting the absurd... | |
Shoot me those highballstill | |
I'm lit up like | |
I'm plugged in a socket;lock me eyeball to eyeball,let's not bother with the words. | |
Oh, bring on the clowns, bring on the night,pour me double vision in black and white. | |
I'm falling, falling – don't give me that look! | |
I'm falling, falling, it's the oldest trick in the book, | |
My chickadee, my passion flower,show me the way to the | |
Happy Hour. | |
I don't like to see that:oh, no, | |
I don't like the way the hand is shaking,shape-making like an acrobaton his way to the trapeze. | |
My friends in the crowdare all taking bets –they're taking away the safety net. | |
Falling, falling – don't give me that look! | |
I'm falling, only falling, it's the oldest trick in the book,vertigo on the high-wire tower –is this really what they mean by "Happy Hour"? | |
The line between the social and the suicidalso fine he might not know when he's crossed it,when he's lost it;when the social kick becomes the gauging-stick of survival. | |
So here's to the circus,let's drink to the game of forgettingthe marionette strings that jerk us,the real world just outside the door. | |
I know that my legs have goneand | |
I know that the light here is far from perfect...but | |
I've rehearsed it, so | |
I'll carry onuntil | |
I wind up on the floor. | |
My friends in the barwill stand me a round,they'll toast me on my way to the underground. | |
I'm falling, falling – don't give me that look! | |
I'm falling, only falling, it's the oldest trick in the book, | |
My chickadee, my passion flower,show me the way to the | |
Happy Hour. | |
Vertigo on the high-wire tower –is this really what they mean by "Happy Hour"? | |
Put on the greasepaint, we're getting ready for | |
Happy Hour. | |
Do you hear me now? | |
Can you feel me now? | |
I'm in the middle of | |
Happy Hour... | |
Put on the greasepaint.[repeat to fade] |
