Lyrics
Lamont's Lament
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
sad is the man who drinks with himself
to fog up the day that precedes
from sad then to happy
from happy to bitter
that bitter old man is me
hey (hey), drink it all away
i said hey (hey), drink it all away
and i dance for the light of the stars in the sky
and sleep all alone tonight
one for my headaches, 2 for the road
3 for my family and 4 for the show
5 for my sorrows, 6 for my wrongs
7 to hell with this song
hey (hey), drink it all away
i said hey (hey), drink it all away
and i dance for the light of the stars in the sky
and sleep all alone tonight
well everyone feels the need to belong
everyone feels the need for a cause
the forces of nature are naturally sure
but where's the effect? where's the effect?
