Switched to Drinkin' Gin

I stayed all night inside that ringing bell

I got no sleep inside your heavenly hell

'Cause you was charming and that bell was chiming

I was dancing to the ticking of such terrible timing

If you'd left me alone on the sidewalk

Then at least I'd know just where I stand

But if caution gets caught in a gust of the wind

Then there ain't no use drawing a line in the sand

So this being the street where

The show ends and your house begins

And ever since you kissed me

Well, I've switched to drinking gin

And there ain't no amount of drinking

That could make my mind forget

Stayed all night inside that ringing bell

I know temptation better than I know myself

I've seen it flicker underneath your lashes

And if that's a fire, then I'm bound for ashes

If you'd left me alone on the sidewalk

Then at least I'd know just where I stand

But if caution gets caught in a gust of the wind

Then there ain't no use drawing a line in the sand

So this being the street where

The show ends and your house begins

And ever since you kissed me

Well, I've switched to drinking gin

And there ain't no amount of drinking

That could make my mind forget

And there ain't no amount of trouble

That could make my heart regret
