To laugh my cares away, like trying to turn the water into wine. So I'll drink my share today and leave this love lost weary world behind. Just barkeep keep it coming with the whiskey and the wine Cause tonight I need a stronger drink to ease my shaking mind Don't raise me from my grave, I will not repay the price Till I've made it through this abnegation for forty days and forty nights Of pain and prayer Seems you love them then they lie To be alone's my greatest fear But I know this too I will survive Lean to and I'll confide teachings that I never learned in school. Laugh as I cast aside these newly minted lessons of a fool. Just barkeep keep it coming with the whiskey and the wine Cause tonight I need a stronger drink to ease my shaking mind Don't raise me from my grave, I will not repay the price Till I've made it through this abnegation for forty days and forty nights Of pain and prayer Seems you love them then they lie To be alone's my greatest fear But I know this too I will survive Tonight's my mardi gras, nothing left but ashes in the morn. When I leave this smokey bar I know that I will surely be reborn. Just barkeep keep it coming with the whiskey and the wine Cause tonight I need a stronger drink to ease my shaking mind Don't raise me from my grave, I will not repay the price Till I've made it through this abnegation for forty days and forty nights Of pain and prayer Seems you love them then they lie To be alone's my greatest fear But I know this too I will survive Tonight's my mardi gras, nothing left but ashes in the morn. |
