Forgetfulness For Sale

I saw a neon invitation flashing red and green temptation

And the sign read we've got whiskey wine and ales

Come and step into our shadow leave outside whatever matters

Tonight we've got forgetfulness for sale

I heard the jukebox saw the dance floor

I said this is my last chance for happiness

For after all all else has failed

So I gave the man my money some woman whispered hone

And I thought I'd found forgetfulness for sale

In the bargain basement of the honky tonk

Where they teach you not to think and for awhile you don't

I laugh and dance and drink and the all the world was gay

Till morning came and all the numbness wore away

Now I'm right back down to hurtin'

So afraid of I've learned for certain

That forgetting you is all to no avail

I'd pay any price their asking

But it's just too big a tasking

No one's got enough forgetfulness for sale

I'd pay any price their asking

But it's just too big a tasking

No one's got enough forgetfulness for sale
