THE PHOENIX FOUNDATION The Drinker Lyrics

I wore my blackest heart
Into my evening dress
As I crossed that floor in a spirit mess
And I wondered just how long
I've been drinking myself to death
As I took out my tongue
And off my head

I crawled like a sunset into bed
And I spent the whole night
Dreaming bout what
That strange girl said
She said
"All of your hopes
And all of your dreams,
Shattered to dust
And split at the seams
At the bottom of a bottle
You can wipe your conscience clean
And if hell don't make you suffer,
You can surely suffer me"

------------- B R E A K -------------

It was the sort of night
You felt like breaking up
Or going out to vandalise the streets
But I stayed at this masquerade
And I had another drink
I was hoping to bring sin
To my sheets
We are all so special,
We are neat
And I keep freaking people out
Every time I speak
Cuz I say . . .

+ + + BREAK + + +

I wore my blackest heart
Into my evening dress
I wore my favourite tie
In my sunday best
And I shot a thousand rounds
In an act of pail jest
I said
"Christ I need a lawyer"
He said
"Son I'll do my best"
