| Bottle of Blues
i just found me a bottle of blues some strange comfort for a soul
to soothe ain't it hard ain't it hard, to want somebody who
doesn't want you
and i've been waiting for a year, a day some strange weather must
be blowin' my way cause i got no mind to go or to stay, or be left
behind
holdin' hands with an impotent dream in a brothel of fake energy
put a nickel in the graveyard machine i get higher and lower i
get higher and lower like a tired soldier with nothin' to shoot
and nowhere to lose this bottle of blues
egos drone and pose alone like black balloons all banged
and blown on a backwoods river the infidels shiver in the
stench of belief i tell my momma i'm a hundred years late i'm over
the rails and out of the race and the crippled psalms of an
age that won't thaw are ringing in my ears
holdin' hands with an impotent dream in a brothel of fake energy
put a nickel in the graveyard machine i get higher and lower i
get higher and lower like a tired soldier with nothin' to shoot
and nowhere dreams it's a.. bottle of blues
