Pass me the whisky I need to still me Pass me the glass I need to steal me away No no don't do anything to distill me Tell me that you love me I'll be forgetting I'm just a lowly whore Feed my foolish dream I could be a wife
That I could tempt you away from your other life Oh lord how long must I bide I need someone to steal me away Somehting to still me today
Oh lord, how long til I die Deliver me numb to my pain For peace never stumbled this way... Tell me how it feels to have a back strong like a wall Not a burning out car
You got splendor and taste at the tips of your fingers But where I'm sleeping rough is where I'm seeking true love
Oh lord how long must I bide Gimme someone to steal me away Someone to topple my pain Oh lord won't I be bride Someone to topple my shame He could come eclipse my name
I write on the back of a cigarette pack That we're all aged like stars I'm made up of some else's joy and someone's scars That velvet-fingered dope that I smoke Dupes me for a second that I am free like some great unbothered oak tree..
Oh lord how long 'ti I'm mine I need someone to steal me away Deliver me numb to this pain
Oh lord how long til i die Someone to steal me away Someone to steal me away Peace may just tumble this way.....
