It opens your arms, your mouth and legs, too
It loosens your tongue and it changes your view
It makes your world turn, an ocean of gold
Will rage in your liver and burn in your throat
Some more glasses downed
At last you’re alive
Drown your sorrows, flood your problems
Watch ‘em all deprive
Some more of that booze
Again you’re so bold
Finally you’ve got the courage
To regain control
It makes you feel home, it makes you feel safe
Its company makes you incredibly brave
It is a false friend for it makes you feel
Like what’s real is not and what’s not is real
Some more glasses downed...
Where has it got you? Now
You’re face down in the mud
The shame of failure keeps on
Poisoning your blood
You won’t get rid of all
It nestles in your gut
Your weak attempts will never
Cleanse your poisoned blood
The joy felt without it is so long gone by
Did you ever wind it up when you were dry?
Impatience is flowing right over the brink
’Cause parties ain’t goin’ with nothing to drink
