Barstool Blues

If I could hold on to just one thought

For long enough to know

Why my mind is moving so fast

And the conversation is slow

Burn off all the fog

And let the sun through to the snow

Let me see your face again

Before I have to go

I have seen you in the movies

And in those magazines at night

I saw you on the bar stool

When you held that glass so tight

And I saw you in my nightmares

But I'll see you in my dreams

And I might live a thousand years

Before I know what that means

Once there was a friend of mine

Who died a thousand deaths

His life was filled with parasites

And countless idle threats

Hе trusted in a woman

And on her he madе his bets

Once there was a friend of mine

Who died a thousand deaths
