Let Me Drown
And now, ladies and gentlemen
The moment you've all been waiting for
The clown takes the center ring!
I've changed my mind
Let the evening rage ahead
By tomorrow morning we could be dead drunk
Or just dead
If she won't talk to me I've plenty else to do
I'll talk to you
And you and you and you and
I think we're due for a
I think we're due for a
I think we're due for a
You think I'm headed for disaster
You think I'm going up in flames
You wanna break my fall
You wanna stop them all from calling me names
You'd like to chain me down in irons
You'd like to give me your support
But when you see me stand
Martini glass in hand
The rescue you've got planned
Must be aborted
Let me drown, this evening
Let me drown
If I'm blue, let me truly play the clown
Let me sail
Let me sink
Let me teeter on the brink
Let me drown, drown, drown, drown, drown
You'd like to see me at confession
You hope I learn from my mistakes
You wanna save my soul
But when I'm on a roll
Lay off of the brakes
You think that when I meet my maker
(Hello, Maker!)
That cat'll be all dressed in red
But every morn I pray
That on that lucky day
I'll hear that devil say
"Son, pour it steady!"
And let me drown, this evening
Let me drown (Whoa, let me drown!)
If I'm low, let me slowly paint the town (Go, grab a dollar and follow me!)
When they ask for the roof
Let me answer "Hundred Proof!"
Let me drown, drown, drown, drown, drown
Let me drown in females foreign
Let me dangle from a limb
Teach me how to put my oar in
But don't you dare to teach me
How to swim!
Let me drown, this evening, let me drown (Let me drown!)
If you smile
For a while
I'll wear the frown (Go slap that happy face)
Let me go
Set me free (I wanna run now)
Let me at that S.O.B
No!
Let me drown, drown, drown, drown, drown
Let me drown, till daybreak
Let me drown (Let me drown)
I'm the guy (Guy!)
Who will buy
Her wedding gown (Here comes the bride)
Till the dawn
Breaks the spell
All the world
Can go to hell (Now, where is my Bible?)
Strap me in
Let me ride
Till I'm on the other side (Take me to the other side)
Let me rock
Let it roll
Let me sacrifice my soul
Let me drown
Let me drown!
The moment you've all been waiting for
The clown takes the center ring!
I've changed my mind
Let the evening rage ahead
By tomorrow morning we could be dead drunk
Or just dead
If she won't talk to me I've plenty else to do
I'll talk to you
And you and you and you and
I think we're due for a
I think we're due for a
I think we're due for a

You think I'm going up in flames

You wanna stop them all from calling me names
