Drinking and Drugs



Aldo Green



Early mourning blues

Whiskey for me

And drugs for you

Lying in bed

Till the break of dawn

Let's sleep the light away

It won't take long

Happiness is beside me

At last rolling around

Not making a sound

Dreaming of her prince,

Settling for less

And I take what I have,

It's more than before

And each day is getting hard

To love like the last

And I so much want us

Not to rust

Yet trust is all I have

To guard me from lust

And the bitter winter eats

Away my eternal soul

And if she would awake now

I could still have a chance

To be the one, to make her smile

But time is no friend

And god is only a scene

To make you believe in something

Other than yourself

And the devil invented god

For his amusement and we play

The game each day

Losing our way and

It is too plain to see

Everyday is drugs for you

And whiskey for me
