With a bottle in your hand
Try and quench the thirst of a drowning man
How do you stand with a pair of legs like rubber bands?
You see, you really are not free
Step aside from foolish pride
Build yourself a bridge to the other side
Don't come home from drinking
With heartache on your mind
And don't say you've been thinking
About us this time
And don't come here with roses
And breath that I can see
Expecting me to be thinking
About anyone but me, about anyone but me
Another aspirin down the chute
Another meatball flying through the hoop
I see the plan saving up your strength to be the ham
You see, you really are not free
Step aside from foolish pride
Build yourself a bridge to the other side
Like she said, "Don't come home from drinking
With heartache on your mind
And don't say you've been thinking
About us this time"
"And don't come here with roses
And breath that I can see
Expecting me to be thinking
About anyone but me, about anyone but me"
With a bottle in your hand
Try and quench the thirst of a drowning man
Like she said, "There's a little apricorn inside your head"
Ooh, don't come home from drinking
With heartache on your mind
And don't say you've been thinking
About us this time
And don't come here with roses
And breath that I can see
Expecting me to be thinking
About anyone but me, about anyone but me
About anyone but me
