Barfly

I need a drink like a spider needs a fly
I ain't got nothin' but I know I'll get by
I don't look great, I'll feel better when I'm high
I may be sad but you won't see me cry
I'm dying, but I want to die
'Cause I'm just a barfly

And that's all I'll ever be
With a cheap philosophy
And bottle of whisky
So have a drink with me
'Cause that's all that sets me free

My youth was something, it just happened in the past
Those times we shared man they really were a blast
Like a cracked actor in a brilliant cast
I couldn't cut it and it all moved by so fast
And hatred is the only thing that lasts
For a barfly on his ass

And that's all I'll ever be
With a cheap philosophy
And bottle of J.D.
So have a drink with me
'Cause that's all that sets me free

Don't talk to me or you'll find out who you are
I'm your reflection, I look back from the mirror
I'm in your house, in the back seat of your car
There's one of me hangin' out in every bar
Society, you can wear me like a scar
Cause I'm just what you are

And I'm all you'll ever be
With your cheap philosophy
And bottle of whisky
So have a drink with me
It's all that sets me free
