	Fuelled by alcohol,shooting out words like a rocket,like a prophet out of
	Babylonmethod acting the absurd...
	Shoot me those highballstill
	I'm lit up like
	I'm plugged in a socket;lock me eyeball to eyeball,let's not bother with the words.
	Oh, bring on the clowns, bring on the night,pour me double vision in black and white.
	I'm falling, falling – don't give me that look!
	I'm falling, falling, it's the oldest trick in the book,
	My chickadee, my passion flower,show me the way to the
	Happy Hour.
	I don't like to see that:oh, no,
	I don't like the way the hand is shaking,shape-making like an acrobaton his way to the trapeze.
	My friends in the crowdare all taking bets –they're taking away the safety net.
	Falling, falling – don't give me that look!
	I'm falling, only falling, it's the oldest trick in the book,vertigo on the high-wire tower –is this really what they mean by "Happy Hour"?
	The line between the social and the suicidalso fine he might not know when he's crossed it,when he's lost it;when the social kick becomes the gauging-stick of survival.
	So here's to the circus,let's drink to the game of forgettingthe marionette strings that jerk us,the real world just outside the door.
	I know that my legs have goneand
	I know that the light here is far from perfect...but
	I've rehearsed it, so
	I'll carry onuntil
	I wind up on the floor.
	My friends in the barwill stand me a round,they'll toast me on my way to the underground.
	I'm falling, falling – don't give me that look!
	I'm falling, only falling, it's the oldest trick in the book,
	My chickadee, my passion flower,show me the way to the
	Happy Hour.
	Vertigo on the high-wire tower –is this really what they mean by "Happy Hour"?
	Put on the greasepaint, we're getting ready for
	Happy Hour.
	Do you hear me now?
	Can you feel me now?
	I'm in the middle of
	Happy Hour...
	Put on the greasepaint.[repeat to fade]

	Fuelled by alcohol, shooting out words like a rocket, like a prophet out of
	Babylonmethod acting the absurd...
	Shoot me those highballstill
