Cocktail (7" Version)

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

But just like every love affair

The fault in my armor shows

The border shop full of holes

And I'd get a little green

I could be dancing on one leg

Enjoying the masquerade

Oh, I’m not making any lemonade

But I got lemons if you need

[Verse 3]

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

A-through a cocktail

Who can you turn to

When the world is bleeding you dry?

Oh, I'll turn you loose

To wither in the day light

[Verse 4]

Sometimes I feel like a corpse

With a lifetime subscription

Ain't that a strange proposition

Of thankless sacrifice?

[Verse 5]

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
