Cocktail

I started missing the days Where as soon as I'd wake I'd make a cocktail I'd spend the time that you took Giving me dirty looks With my cocktail And just like every love affair On the fault in my armor shows On a border shop full of hope And I'd get a little green I could be dancing on one leg And enjoying the masquerade Well I'm not making any lemonade But I got lemons if you need In my meandering way I'd sing a serenade and sip a cocktail My very own world view I'd tell the people I knew Through a cocktail Who can you turn to When the world is bleeding you dry May I now turn you loose And watch you wither in the day light? Sometimes I feel like a corpse With a lifetime subscription Just a strange proposition Oh, the thankless sacrifice Now how is every day the same In a variety of places? All the dull and empty spaces In the middle of a crowd I could be slipping off the wing of a dove Or tied up onto the train tracks But either way I ain't coming back The only way out is down Yeah, the only way out, my friend Is falling down
