lyrics
Keep me up for the lullaby that sends me to sleep.
Words, worthless, lifted from the T.V. screen.
White ravens, shots ring in my mouth. We came from the south,
Drawing new hands, Bernie my friend.
You've never been a martyr and you'll never be a saint,
The blood on your hands is too much to take.
You're banging your head on things you regret
And bragging's got you no respect.
Won't you drink with me, O slip-tooth tongue-waggling man?
Won't you drink with me, O flip-flopping old oil-suit man?
Pardon me for asking just what it is you do,
You never really knew me, and I never knew you.
No bullshit, no fibs in my ear, you want me to hear
Speak a little bit clearer as I bring about no fear.
Browbeat, old man:
Chicago's the heaviest drink,
Just looking for an option
And this dive-bar's a great place to think.
Won't you drink with me, O slip-tooth tongue-waggling man?
Won't you drink with me, O flip-flopping old oil-suit man?
Words, worthless, lifted from the T.V. screen.
White ravens, shots ring in my mouth. We came from the south,
Drawing new hands, Bernie my friend.
You've never been a martyr and you'll never be a saint,
The blood on your hands is too much to take.
You're banging your head on things you regret
And bragging's got you no respect.
Won't you drink with me, O slip-tooth tongue-waggling man?
Won't you drink with me, O flip-flopping old oil-suit man?
Pardon me for asking just what it is you do,
You never really knew me, and I never knew you.
No bullshit, no fibs in my ear, you want me to hear
Speak a little bit clearer as I bring about no fear.
Browbeat, old man:
Chicago's the heaviest drink,
Just looking for an option
And this dive-bar's a great place to think.
Won't you drink with me, O slip-tooth tongue-waggling man?
Won't you drink with me, O flip-flopping old oil-suit man?
