I drank all your beer
You earned all the wool you're weaving
Take a step into the 19th century room
In which I'm sleeping
Cross the mighty Hudson
Is the couch that I've become
I could have slept for twenty years
And still awoke to see the rising Catskill sun
There's nothing I can do
To cauterise the stump I've got
Get a brand new face tattoo
Of an apple branch or a rotten tooth
And what would all my friends say
Would it make my mother cry
Like the time my father took a razor
To my head when I was 5, it was DIY
So dive like a drinker
Til the money all is spent
But look out to the west for me
When you wonder where I went
Dive like a drinker
Til the money all is spent
Promise to do your best for me
The time has run away
I know there's not a second left
To wonder where it went
Now I'd say I love the sunrise
But it's colouring my cheeks in red
I'll listen to your judgement
On where I choose to make my bed
But don't you get excited
I'm not about to change my mind
Kiss me on the forehead
And tell me I've been kind
That's no lie
Corral around the bathtub
I'm your brand new baby boy
I'm throwing out the bubbles
And I'm drowning all my toys
And as the water starts to boil
We'll find the pain inside the joy
And my laughing and my weeping
Keep me up til the dawn so I can
So dive like a drinker
Til the money all is spent
But look out to the west for me
When you wonder where I went
Dive like a drinker
Til the money all is spent
Promise to do your best for me
The time has run away
I know there's not a second left
To wonder where it went
30 hours down the line
I lost track of what was mine
I should call it up, call you up
I should call you up
So dive like a drinker
Til the money all is spent
But look out to the west for me
When you wonder where I went
Dive like a drinker
Til the money all is spent
Promise to do your best for me
The time has run away
I know there's not a second left
To wonder where it went
(So run, so run)
(So run, so run)
(To Babylon)
(And break)
(Alone in the cold hard ground)
