[Verse 1: Slug] I'm looking at that empty glass, like it might look back And if it did would it recognize the fact That I need to find a way to relax That won't require me to drink away the rain and the fire that paint the tracks The judgement passed upon that awful taste Time flies too fast but it's not a race You see it on my face, I'm trying to concentrate But everything's too blurry to accommodate I gotta chase the impossible But every option starts up with a shot and ends up as an obstacle Maybe I should just drink at home Tell me, why would a prisoner leave his throne? Even when I stand still, I'm still on the run I'm the son of my father, got a bottle of some And this goes to those of us that only live once But don't remember nothing when the morning comes C'mon C'mon
[Chorus: Slug, St. Paul Slim & sample] And so I drink to the life of those that drink to death If I can't save the day I might as well fade away And so I drink to the life of those that drink to death If I can't save the day I might as well fade away (Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away (Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away
[Verse 2: St. Paul Slim] Scene 2, this is the part Where my face hits the windshield and it stops my heart Driving the wrong fucking way down a one way Doing 55 in a 30, 3 AM, Monday No one on the block but me and the cops If I can make it to the crib, I'll do it again, watch I been drinking since noon, fucking buffoons As far as amounts I lost count, I don't know what I consumed I never do, drink 'till I'm dumb Some say I'm lush, others think I'm a bomb But I think I'm in love 'till death do us part, and even then too I'm a hell's kitchen, bottle of Don Q I love the taste of it, put it to my face like I'm face fucking And the pain? It'll erase nothing I'm delusional I wrote this shit hungover at my job noddin' off at my cubicle Life is beautiful
[Chorus: Slug, St. Paul Slim & sample] And so I drink to the life of those that drink to death If I can't save the day I might as well fade away (Oh yeah) And so I drink to the life of those that drink to death If I can't save the day I might as well fade away (Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away (Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away
