[Verse 1]
I'm counting fingers now
Courting aristocrats
I'm currying favours now
Trusting the bureaucrats

[Chorus]
Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?
A little bit higher now
Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?
'Cause I can't get out of this house

[Verse 2]
I'm searching figures now
Dreading a second wave
I'm pouring glasses down
Digging a subtle grave

[Chorus]
Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?
A little bit higher now
Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?
'Cause I can't get out of this house

[Harmonica solo]
[Chorus]
Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?
A little bit higher now
Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?
'Cause I can't get out of this house

[Bridge]
I can't get out of this house
I can't get out of this house
I can't get out of this house
I can't get out of this house

[Guitar solo]
