Album | Remedy |
[00:08.30] | Living on bread and wine was easy |
[00:11.99] | for John and James and Mother Mary |
[00:16.3] | and I’m no saint and that’s my ball and chain |
[00:23.74] | Cause when I’m passed that silver chalice |
[00:27.61] | I always drink my fill until it |
[00:31.45] | knocks me down and tangles up my brain |
[00:37.77] | Yeah buddy, it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life |
[00:42.50] | it’s a mean old world, when you’re kicked to the gutter |
[00:46.60] | and the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame |
[00:58.64] | Walking through the graveyards and sleeping in alleys |
[01:02.48] | telling myself the same old stories |
[01:06.40] | Drinking that blood and calling it holy wine |
[01:13.95] | Looking in windows and seeing a stranger |
[01:17.92] | going through hell like a fallen angel |
[01:21.89] | Feeling my bones getting old long before their time |
[01:28.16] | Yeah buddy, it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life |
[01:32.99] | it’s a mean old world, when you’re kicked to the gutter |
[01:36.88] | and the firewater gotcha talking in circles again |
[01:44.69] | It’s an empty bottle passing around |
[01:48.35] | when your hopes and dreams have all burned down |
[01:52.42] | And the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame |
[01:59.63] | Take me home, take me home |
[02:08.23] | Gather me up in your arms Lord have mercy divine |
[02:30.48] | So take me home, take me home |
[02:38.14] | Take me home, take me home |
[02:46.29] | Cause it’s a short life, it’s a hell of a life |
[02:50.36] | it’s a mean old world when you're kicked to the gutter |
[02:54.26] | and the firewater is the one thing to put out the flame |
