Lyrics

Boilermaker

I'm calm now

I've calmed down

But I'm shaking

Make me another boilermaker

In molasses

A fly in molasses

Nasty sticky shit holds it down

There's an arched back

There is an arched back

's got a pained look under rain clouds

In molasses

A fly in molasses

Just if you know what it's like to drown

What's that?

What's that?

What's that?

What's that?

What's that?

What was that?

Make me another boilermaker

And it's dry inside 'til a dusty wind

And each trying sigh is a trusted friend

In his pride I saw his just defense

I eyed the bedroom door until I busted in

I busted

I busted

I busted in

In molasses

A fly in molasses

Nasty sticky shit holds it down

There's an arched back

There is an arched back

's got a pained look under rain clouds

In molasses

A fly in molasses

Just if you know what it's like to drown

What's that?

What's that?

What's that?

What's that?

What's that?

What was that?

Make me another boilermaker

Strange how it makes him want to tell lies
