Moodswing Whiskey (Mystery White Boy Tour Live 95-96)
(Jeff Buckley / Michael Tighe)
Mood swing whiskey Drank it all in the morning Waiting for the dark to move in Sitting in my step-sister's kitchen Horseflies on the window sill Eyes trained on the lemon king And wishing it were a gun
I'm thinking of our wedding rings Trapped inside the heater Spring water on the floor of this Sex starved room
The nightmare's fires burn The waves of bliss I tried to stop it with my hand I was lost in the kiss With you
Mood swing whiskey Your bliss, the actress, Bliss, the assassin Bliss, the abyss
Did a crazy shot of whiskey In about zero to sixty All I could see was the beer
I face the future with a drink in my right Eyes to the sparkling gloom Body naked, afraid, and amazed
Say boost me up to your junkyard paradise Boost me up to your junkyard paradise With a sweet-ass photo of you
She cheated, and she lied, and you stole her Stung my tongue just like Sweat from her shoulder
Ooh, mood swing whiskey Your love, the destroyer Love, the destroyer Love, love
Yes mood swing whiskey has my brain Only you can break this chain Are you here in my bed again Can you hear my love again (x4)
Run down the subway station babe I'm packing my rod All and present histories erased I am a punishing god Mood swing whiskey Yeah the leaves are made of Messy things again
And I said this is all the headless acrobats Faces crushed in the circus dust All for the law of gravity And the price of admission
Beautiful loser warm hearts have let you down Beautiful loser warm hearts have left you Oh no, you
I think of mankind in quotation marks Ever since i took a drink from you This is for all the headless acrobats Faces crushed in the circus dust All in the name of gravity And the price of admission
Beautiful loser while eyes have let you now Beautiful loser while eyes have let you now Cause you're beautiful
I think of mankind in quotation marks Ever since I took a drink of you
