That Handsome Devil
A Drink to Death
"Make sure my glass is full"
"Let's crash and see how fast we go"
He took a shot and held his breath
"I'm gonna drink myself to death"
It'll eat your insides
Your brain burns and your skin dries
Bumbling through the alleys like you think you're still alive
I wanna hold you closely, I wanna smell your sweat
I wanna drink myself to death
There will be no candles
There will be no romance
I will be alone
We will not hold hands
There will be no toasting
There will be no romance
You are young, I am an old man
And if I pass out, wake me up
I may be drunk but I'm not drunk enough
And everything keeps fucking up
We were nice together, weren't we, once?
I'm drunk but I'm not drunk enough
We were nice together, weren't we, once?
Make sure my glass is full
We can laugh 'til I am blasting off
From now 'til nothing's left
I wanna drink myself to death
(I'm gonna drink myself to death)
When I woke, it was daylight and the clouds were pink
The sun was coming up... or going down, I think
(I'm gonna drink myself to death)
You can't see their silver linings when your vision's blurred
A 151-proof tear detergent to clean what's down my shirt
(I'm gonna drink myself to death)
Make sure my glass is full
Let's make the evening magical
The lies have no regrets
I'm gonna drink myself to death
(I'm gonna drink myself to death)
Make sure my glass is full
I'll crash to see how fast I go
I'll take a shot and hold my breath
I'm gonna drink myself to death
And the nights have lost their minds
And the mornings are unkind
And this, the last I see of you
The glass!
Don't let me see it through
And the nights have lost their minds
And the mornings are unkind
And this, the last I see of you
Smash the glass to make it meaningful
Make sure my name is known
'Til the pain will make you wish you don't
Of life, we're all bereft
I just took mine before the rest
Make sure my glass is full
Let's watch this white light turn to gold
Tonight is all that's left
I'm gonna drink myself to death
And when I pass, don't call my bluff
I may be drunk but I'm not drunk enough
To fight the me that's on this stuff
We were nice, but now I'm coarse and rough
I'm drunk but I'm not drunk enough
We were nice together, weren't we, once?
