Moxy Fruvous Bargainville The Drinking Song CHORUS: And the band played on As the helicopters whirred Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn My senses finally blurred He was a rock, to the end a solid reminder Couldn't deny a friend We lived in the noise and the sweet amber poison Peekin' up the skirt of the end And we'd drink, two gnarly dudes and some records Much like plates of black food We filled up our faces, saw some far places Stood on the roof in the nude CHORUS Between poles, he said "We're like cows in the grass" Brushing off flies Chaise lounging around, standing up, falling down Till we no longer opened our eyes And we'd drink, ever notice how drinking's like war? Cup o' troops o'er the gums To the end of our health, a campaign 'gainst myself Armed with bourbons and Scotches And rums CHORUS Think of bombs, we're poised on the edge of disaster Whether it's right or it's wrong We opened the window, played some Nintendo Sang a few bars of some pretty old song: Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams Oh to dream, those impotent bones of extinction Flying graceful and free None but the best 'cause the man cannot rest Till he's finally beaten his me CHORUS Till the end, he passed out on the sundeck that morning Quietly saying goodbye But I was so hammered I sputtered and stammered Told him he couldn't just die He was a rock, went straight for his own Armageddon Face froze in a grin Ambulance flyin' in, I never drank again Can't really call that a loss or a win CHORUS |
