Blue Bottle Blues

Pine pitch, turpentine
Don't drink poison, baby, better drink wine
Solvent, acetone
Mind you mark the bottle with a skull and bones

You got the blue bottle blues
When you wake up in the night
Don't make a big mistake
Cause you can never make it right
When you reach out for the vial
Feel the ridges in the glass
It's a matter of survival
Better watch your back

Powder, arsenic
Spoonful in your cocoa gonna make you sick
Strychnine, cyanide
Keeps on getting harder simply staying alive

You got the blue bottle blues
When you wake up in the night
Don't make a big mistake
Cause you can never make it right
When you reach out for the vial
Feel the ridges in the glass
It's a matter of survival
Better watch your back

When it's time for you to go
Like Juliet or Romeo
There is something you should know
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote

Bootleg alcohol
Toxic or intoxicating, who can tell
Almond, bitter taste
Swallow down your medicine it leaves no trace
Morphine, rest your head
What was that precaution that the doctor said?
Foul play, accident
Watch out for your loved ones and your careless self

You got the blue bottle blues
When you wake up in the night
Don't make a big mistake
Cause you can never make it right
When you reach out for the vial
Feel the ridges in the glass
It's a matter of survival, baby
Better watch your back

There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
