Taxis brush the roads; outcasts on heat
Tryin' for that last admission to Condemnation
Singular alcoholic staggers from another bar
Consuming his inconsequential time on earth in the organization of outsiders.
Battles with little change at the cost of a lager
Furthermore, the last butt from a pack of luckies
Dreamin' of a superior life through a few server's eyes
One more evening of cellulite thighs and coarse dyed hair.
While down at the Blue Mambo life's a beverage
So set them up this one's on me, he murmurs to a vacant bar
The barkeep looks exhausted cleaning a similar glass
Life's a container when you're drownin' so much
Normal, worn-out bologna is simply an alternate digging tool accordingly.
The early morning papers are out on the stands
Paper young men congregating to yell out the title texts once more
One more day, another quarter and it's we're off to go
While an alcoholic staggers from one bar to another
Abjectly
In this new guaranteed land.
The early first light snaps open like a diamante catch
Across the roof of the world
Leaving alcoholics requesting another day's packaged love
In a whirlwind of drenched developments
Like apparitions beyond a doubt leaving another gloomy Saturday night.
