Artist: Tankard Album: The Meaning Of Life
Lyrics
D.t. empty stare and body shiver Whisky - need a shot to stop the quiver I've been here for days or minutes Where is here? I couldn't tell Somewhere in the outer limits Pretty close, I guess, to hell Hazy names and places Foggy memory Help me - mister, can you spare a dollar? Need a drink before I start to holler Seedy bars is where I hang out Crawling up the strip all night Dodging tabs and seeking spenders Passing out or starting fights It's a way of living In the underworld
Close to the edge - barfly Ready to fall Walking the ledge - barfly Nothing or all Playing your part - barfly Searching... barfly
Barrooms - stench of beer, the smell of losers Lowlifes - aging whores and senile boozers We're a family of zombies But a family nonetheless Gotta hang on to each other When your life's a filthy mess Fighting for survival Fighting loneliness
Way out - got a choice, I'm not a dumb one Create - write a book and be a someone Memoirs very popular In those intellectual circles Barfly turns to cult - scene start Sleaze can be attractive Viewed from safer shores
Close to the edge - barfly Ready to fall Nothing or all - barfly Searching... barfly
