The Only One Drinking Tonight
The Only One Drinking Tonight
Pass me the lampshade, I'm drunk again
Blew my drug money on a quart of gin
I am a cultured man, with tastes discriminating
But I'll settle for a tall glass of anything
Fell in love with love and death and darkness
If I'm a bad drunk, it's not for lack of practice
This is no, there is no modern romance
Cause I'm going home in a fucking ambulance
Am I the only one drinking tonight?
The only one drinking tonight
Spring break gone broke, it's sprung
Now I'm the only one
Mirrored medicine cabinet door like the hatch of a submarine
Bottles inside like buttons and dials and tiny backlit screens
Bloody footprints on the bathroom floor
In a hotel close to the airport
Am I the only one drinking tonight?
The only one drinking tonight
Despair's an octopus with its head in New Hampshire
And tentacles everywhere
Am I the only one drinking tonight?
Etc., ad nauseam
