Lyrics
Bottle Living
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.
He´s like a king without a crown
He wears it like a clown
Watch him disappear
I wish he would come down
So call before you drown
I won´t always be around
He´s a ship without a sail
He´s not listening when you speak
Living for the bottle
He´ll be sitting there all week
So call before you drown
I won´t always be around
Living for the bottle
Living for the bottle
There´s no light on in his eyes
How heavy are the lies
Just jumped right out his skin
He´ll take you for a ride
Living for the bottle
Living for the bottle
So call before you drown
I won´t always be around
He´s a dog without a bite
Still looking for a fight
All in black
He won´t be home tonight, yeah
