Drank it up slowly
As I looked at the only
People in the room.
???‚¬?“It’s ok to admit that
You have been laughed at,???‚¬??
Said Mr. Deacon Blues.
Then some broken fool laughed
And hi-fived the bar back,
???‚¬?“I’ll have another round.???‚¬??
Raised it up to the ceiling, said
???‚¬?“This one with feeling.
What’s the matter with this town.???‚¬??
If I look like a mess. I must be a mess.
Kick snare and hi-hat,
Crushed cigarette pack,
2 is coming soon.
Kids on a wall plaque,
???‚¬?“AYSO Champs, Summer 1992.???‚¬??
???‚¬?“Good hands don’t deserve this.???‚¬??
???‚¬?“Maybe someday you’ll learn kid that
Silence is a sound.???‚¬??
Raise it up to the ceiling,
???‚¬?“Make this one with feeling.???‚¬??
We’ll drink until we drown???‚¬?¦
Turning on and off and on.
