of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world i walked in hers and i saw a face that could launch a thousand ships or any old cliche i always thought it could be someone who unexpectedly had a brand of trance with just one glance overwhelmingly so don't be afraid when things aren't so black and white cause there's grey in everything of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world i walked in ours so don't be afraid when things aren't so black and white cause there's grey in everything and i see the silver lining

can i be frank? you can choose your own name i was always a fan of maria christina but hey, lets have ourselves a drink a little tonic tangueray i was always a fan of the vodka but things have changed and now we don't fall down or bump our heads at night two and home and six more down another few in sight every time we try to leave i'll always pick a fight cause we've been falling in the dark and now it's home one more debaucherous trip to the bar that we frequent that certain night of the week

Two Bottles 03:44
two bottles of our favorite pinot noir would certainly find us huddled in our own arms this i know for sure if my hands were more apt i'd build up a great wall to shield my city with cards anticipating the call yea, i know it all the list goes on of the things that i want to say had a feeling that you'd sway but you followed suit you turned your cheek the other way, girl you always knew i'd be the one to walk away, no we must have grew at least one of us did, anyway… and it was you i missed the taste of your lips the second that you woke up those bittersweet memories say "buddy, you really fucked up"

dark camouflage smeared around his sinking eyes she's on to him he fishes her with lies about his former life before retired how his greedy wife set the house on fire "i'm all alone" he whispers in her ear he'll sing the song he knows she wants to hear seven years have passed she's birthing his fourthborn still a bachelorette he's fucking in the thorns of another man's wife libido on fire given her the same old hook and wire we're all alone, we're all alone
5.
her cabaret her swift melee hey there little fantasy come and set the scene i'm gonna take her home tonight and i was right, i was right drank enough to dance my way to another game of i seek, you hide under my sheets in fright that i won't call you and say that we'll be good be good tonight so thanks, goodnight thanks, goodnight now it's 3am she's still kissin' me and it's really sweet but i need some sleep before i choke a bitch tonight that's not right, that's not right you're all gonna hate this song cause we're always wrong so go ahead and lie under my sheets in fright that i won't call you and say that we'll be good be good tonight so thanks, goodnight thanks, goodnight your lips so sweet, i want you naked your lips so sweet, i wanna taste it under my sheets under my sheets tonight and i won't call you tomorrow we'll be good, but not tonight so thanks, goodnight thanks, goodnight
