D.R.I.N.K.

I'm broken-hearted

With all that this entails

It takes some concentrated drinking

To keep me on the rails

I have to hide my face

I have to hide my shame

I don't wait 'til I'm sober

'Til I get drunk again

I drink at home

I drink out

I drink in cocktail bars

Falling down

Seeing stars

It suits me

It suits me

Going astray

In all the bars from here to Mandalay

They never close

We never pay

Chorus:

My oh my

We can't compete

It's only heavy drinking that keeps us on our feet

My oh my

I can't complain

If it weren't for heavy drinking

We'd never play Sweet Jane (Reed)

My my my, oh my

The days go by

I never quite forget her

But goodness how I try

Believe me

Believe me

Falling apart in bars

I like to suffer for my art

Just one more before we part

Don't want to think

About how much I drink

It's a habit that's out of control

Hope I never get dry before I get old.

Trombone (trombone solo)

Chorus

Don't want to think

About how much I drink

It's a habit that's out of control

Hope I never get dry (before you get)

Hope I never get dry now (before you get)

Hope I never get dry before I get old... mmmmm... mmmm
