Take another drag from your cigarette
With your body propped up like a marionette
A glass in hand, drink on your breath
You drown the sorrows out
It's another night of loneliness
With a barstool as your only friend
I think the ship's going down
Bail out the water
Man the starboard side
Here comes another
Your head tilts back with a snap of the neck
The barmaids outline; silhouette
Your inside shakes, it's trembling
You barely hear the sound
That pretty girl and what she said
You're both feeling desperate
The tunnel's closing now
The light's getting softer
There's a blackout up ahead
We'd better find her a lover
And he sings to himself
I only wanted him to stay home
And she sings to herself
I only wanted to sing songs
So, keep the breathing loud
She takes your hand and leads you down
To the crowded floor you speak in shouts
You hold her close and kiss her mouth
With a practiced routine charm
In these chemicals you're nearly drown
But she's all yours now
The vessel's creaking loud
The mast snaps from the pressure
Waves pouring over the bow
There's been no break in the weather
You hold the door and lead her out
The silent air's a welcomed sound
Two shadows in an empty town
Walking arm and arm
A smile for endearing words
And a solemn loving vow
This trek has left you both cold
Your bed has so much to offer
But be careful lonely boy
You know that's somebody's daughter
And she sings to herself
I think I've finally found what I've longed for
And he sings to himself
At least tonight I'll stay warm
Oh, you should feel so ashamed
And now she's right where you want her
You've turned out just like your father
