[Verse 1]
I get my whiskey from a well
Except on holidays, then it's the top shelf
But tonight I don't mind if I spend a little more
'Cause you are a tolerant woman and the world is at war
I know you witnessed my decline
You used to push back the darkness like a floodlight
But tonight that is a secret like the soul of a whore
That if you want to have fun you'll just have to ignore
Now let my troubles solve themselves
I used to get involved but I'm just no help
But tonight let's pretend that we are just like we were
Let me stay until the morning; I will sleep on the floor
[Chorus 1]
And we can talk in circles, no dollar figures
Just what is owed or paid
And you can make predictions
I know you see the future and I agree
And we agree tonight's not happening
[Verse 2]
When I got dry as a desert I got mean
I was as lonely and empty as a canteen
With no anesthetic you are bound to be sore
But tonight I am drinking all peaceful and warm
I get my whiskey from a well
Except on holidays, then it's the top shelf
But tonight I don't mind if I spend a little more
'Cause you are a tolerant woman and the world is at war
I know you witnessed my decline
You used to push back the darkness like a floodlight
But tonight that is a secret like the soul of a whore
That if you want to have fun you'll just have to ignore
Now let my troubles solve themselves
I used to get involved but I'm just no help
But tonight let's pretend that we are just like we were
Let me stay until the morning; I will sleep on the floor
[Chorus 1]
And we can talk in circles, no dollar figures
Just what is owed or paid
And you can make predictions
I know you see the future and I agree
And we agree tonight's not happening
[Verse 2]
When I got dry as a desert I got mean
I was as lonely and empty as a canteen
With no anesthetic you are bound to be sore
But tonight I am drinking all peaceful and warm
