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
