The streetlights wrap my body like cellophane
I've walked these streets a thousand times but I swear never again
'Cause I just cannot stand the way this city taste
On my lips it's stained and it will not go away
And I swear there's gotta be more to life than this
Maybe I think too much but that's just how it is

So I stop off at the bar, well just to ease my pain
Glass after glass of hard liquor, it all feels the same
And some blame the devil but it's the only time that I feel sane
'Cause once my head starts spinning my mind will slowly drift away
And I've got my fist clenched tight and I'm itching to kill
So you better hold fast or it'll be your blood I spill

Well I've never been a stranger to drinking away my sorrows
But bloody fist and shady memories don't make for a better tomorrow
Don't make for a better life when all I do is beg and borrow
And I may be your salvation but I'm never the man to follow
Because the sun doesn't shine by the time my night begins
And I'm begging the bartender for one last glass of gin
He says boy the morals in this world have just gotten so thin
Don't you ever get sick of living in the shadows of sin
Well I told him I'm shy of having any motivation at all
And I've got enough liquor of my breath to peel the paint off the walls
And I'll never sober up to watch the world fall
So pour me another glass, good or bad the devil's coming for us all

Well the bartender shouts you're the man who's playing the fool
You can't avoid all life's troubles drinking all night on that stool
And I've got news for you son, yeah the worlds cruel
But someday you'll have to fight back and beak all the rules
Well I didn't say a word I just stared into my drink
I sat there for hours, man I needed time to think
And that bartender stared me down, I swear he never blinked
And I felt small as I looked out that window, the sky stained with ink
Then suddenly I managed to stumble to my feet
And I told the bartender, what a time to meet
But I've gotta get going I've got a world to defeat
Because the devils not the only one who's packing heat, I said
