Bright Eyes - Well whiskey
Tekst :
I get my whiskey from a well
except on holidays when it s the top shelf
but tonight I don t mind if I spend a little more
cause you re a tolerant woman and the world is at war
I know you witnessed my decline
you used to push back the darkness like a flood light
but tonight that s a secret like the soul of a whore
but if you want to have fun you ll just have to ignore
now I let my troubles solve themselves
I used to get involved but I m just no help
but tonight let s pretend that we re just like we were
let me stay til the morning I will sleep on the floor
and we can talk in circles no dollar figures
just what is owed or paid
and we can make predictions I know you see the future
and I agree
and we agree
tonight s not happening
when I got dry as a desert I got mean
I was as lonely and empty as a canteen
with no anesthetic you re bound to be sore
but tonight I am drinkin all peaceful and warm
and just when I got fed up with that grey sky
the sun came out of no where like a bar fight
and it knocked out the wind and it bruised me with light
and I felt grateful for living just like I feel tonight
but I know you feel safer in a group
where you could be anyone or they could be you
but tonight we ll take risks that you can afford
you still have bars on your windows and a hole in your door
we can talk in circles around a dirty mirror
night trickles down our throats
and we can make the timeline to last our whole lives
we don t know
but no one knows
what s further up the road
just wait and see
just wait and see
all in time
all in time
