Lyrics
Whiskey Breath
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.
Mass halucination on the ballroom floor
and an ancient rite of passage on the shit house door
you keep stealing all my cigerettes
and your whiskey breath
is drowning out the words you're saying
but go ahead, get 'em off your chest
And I feel it in the marrow of my lazy bones
your on to something better
and there's always someone better
Did I drag you down
Did I drag you down
Don't let me drag you down here to my level
that ain't no good
that ain't no good
that ain't no good
Well here I go again
you've heard it all before
but I only caught a glimpse
can I see a little more?
they give it all and give it up
it ain't never enough
when you're deaf and dumb and blind with love
And I can see down to the bottom of your big blue eyes
You're on to something better
and there's always someone better
Did I drag you down
Did I drag you down
Don't let me drag you down here to my level
that ain't no good
that ain't no good
that ain't no good
