Lady I'm looking for a jukebox and a barstool that fits my bottom side
These streets are too dark for walking and I'm in no condition to ride
This midnight rider lost his saddle I'm in no mood for heavy thinking
I need some liquid consolation this night ain't fit for nothing but drinking
Lady I know your reputation I know the drinks that you can fix
Don't get your fingers frosted trying the way I drink it come already mixed
This weather's just right for drowning and I wanna watch that memory sinking
Bring me one more before the crowd comes this night ain't fit for nothing but drinking
I wish I had a light to fly by I know I'm bound to crash and burn
I might fall in love again tomorrow they say you'll never get too blue to learn
My baby's gone the rain is falling there's not a single star out winking
Come on elbow do your number this night ain't fit for nothing but drinking
