Drunken Lament

Self-loathing is quaint You told me, showing restraint Now you're gone, and I'm lost In the swells, I am tossed Bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog You said forever Tell me why can't you stay? CHORUS I'd ride in your pocket all day But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change I'm throwing a party tonight I drink more than a sailor I'm sure Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies Oh... Drunk since Saturday Without you, without restraint (Ahhh) It still stings where you stung Water swings in my lungs I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away Tell me forever Tell me you'll come back to stay CHORUS I'd ride in your pocket all day But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change I'm throwing a party tonight I drink more than a sailor I'm sure Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies You were the mermaid for me Till one day, you found your feet Leaving me In the God-awful bottle, a model of heartache and grief CHORUS I'd ride in your pocket all day But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change I'm throwing a party tonight I drink more than a sailor I'm sure Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies
