I just can't get off this merry-go-round

How I've lived so long makes me wonder
With the bottle slowly dragging me under
I turned into the biggest drunk in town
I just can't get off this merry-go-round

I know it's a shame the way I act
But I can't shake this monkey off my back
And no one lends a hand to a man when he's down
I just can't get off this merry-go-round

The only help I get is through the neck of the bottle
Helps the one thing plenty of
The way out for me just can't be found
I just can't get off this merry-go-round

The only help I get
Is through the neck of the bottle...
