I just finished putting my seventh drink away A week now since her death and a drink for every day Soon it will be fifty and i won't be worrying about ulcers No longer do i dream and my mind is far away I'm thinking like an animal - almost unconsciously Soon i'll be nocturnal and knocking over your garbage And i'll walk and i'll find solace And the sun will shine upon me like a mother keep me warm - my pulse Goes... I see hallucinations of figures like yourself I feel like i'm on acid and you're alive and well Hope you get well soon - wait 'til you see your new grandson We'll walk and we'll part in a nice way Because i don't think i was ready when you left so suddenly And if i could just set this date up It would out my mind at ease to say the things i had failed to say And my pulse would slow hut hut hut hut hut hut... Dirty water Drink it all down - smell the surprise I just finished putting my fiftieth drink away I think i've been patient and waiting for this day I'll have another before i go into the party I think i've been patient in waiting for this day After putting my fiftieth drink away Forget the girl and take the drink like a real man And i walked and i found solace And the sun it shined upon me like a mother kept me warm And i walked and i found solace And the sun it shined upon me like a mother kept me warm And my pulse goes hut hut hut hut hut hut... And the sun it shined upon me like a mother kept me warm
