Plain Old Whiskey
I took a breath and held it in
So long that I passed out
When I woke I was older than
half the bricks that line this town
I used to paint with just black and white
while I slept the colours fell
It's all so loud, so very bright
Is this real? I just can't tell
No sir, don't want it anymore
I've waited hours for you but now I've got to go
I'm no more the kind to sit and wait
but I'm glad I got to bathe here in your punchbowl
All I need now is some plain old whiskey to wash my soul
Woke up and pinched myself three times
Not much changed except these bruises on my thigh
Walked down to [...]
What's this unfamiliar smile?
I used to wait for someone to come
and take the weights right off of me
Instead of just getting stronger
I've forgotten how to dream
No sir, don't want it anymore
I've waited hours for you but now I've got to go
I'm no more the kind to sit and wait
but I'm glad I got to bathe here in your punchbowl
All I need now is some plain old whiskey to wash my soul
So long that I passed out
When I woke I was older than
half the bricks that line this town
I used to paint with just black and white
while I slept the colours fell
It's all so loud, so very bright
Is this real? I just can't tell
No sir, don't want it anymore
I've waited hours for you but now I've got to go
I'm no more the kind to sit and wait
but I'm glad I got to bathe here in your punchbowl
All I need now is some plain old whiskey to wash my soul
Woke up and pinched myself three times
Not much changed except these bruises on my thigh
Walked down to [...]
What's this unfamiliar smile?
I used to wait for someone to come
and take the weights right off of me
Instead of just getting stronger
I've forgotten how to dream
No sir, don't want it anymore
I've waited hours for you but now I've got to go
I'm no more the kind to sit and wait
but I'm glad I got to bathe here in your punchbowl
All I need now is some plain old whiskey to wash my soul
