lyrics

Thinner than a razor blade, sipping vodka lemonade
Flailing in the waves, of a hundred drunken escapades
Move over sailor, I'm joining the ranks
Of the formerly promising, they can write it on my grave

Another man at the end of his night
Leaning on a wall holding on for dear life
An after party parasite, a dive bar socialite
Stumbling out the alleyway
Asking for a light

Dirty as a twenty bill, passed back and forth until
The queens face is caked with cocaine and crushed up pills
Move over rover, I'm joining the gang
Of the formerly promising, circling the drain

Another man at the end of his night
Leaning on a wall holding on for dear life
An after party parasite, a dive bar socialite
Stumbling out the alleyway
Asking for a light

Oh lord, let me try and explain
The last thing I remember I was drowning in the rain
I don’t know how I got here, I don’t know what to say
Just point me to the bar and I'll be on my way
