coyote grace - watering down the brandy lyrics

why do i have to paint your fingernails?
why do i have to court the evening on with tall tales
it’s a surprise i haven’t landed
my dumb junkie -ss in jail
why do i have to sing this midnight song?
why do i have to jump on with the crew and go along?
i miss the living and it always turns out wrong

chorus:
i been watering down the brandy
i been digging for cigarettes
i been looking in the mirror for something
to find that thing that i been trying to forget
watering down the brandy on this
this typical movie set
why do i have to watch this sun come up?
and why do i have to take to the streets
a smiling with my cup?
it’s a community effort, you know
to get a guy sufficiently f-cked up
why do i have to keep betting and rolling dice?
and why do i have to then get on the phone and tell a whole lot of lies?
and when it’s over, i’m sure i’ve seen enough
with these dry, tired eyes

[chorus]
the silver lining
well, i see you under that cloud
the silver lining
i’ve never taken it seriously until now
i see my life before me
like an impending chalk line
upon the ground
the silver lining
well, i see you up in that sky
the silver lining
i hear the clock a tick a tickin’
and the time is rolling by
all of my life i’ve been trying to be
just a regular guy, but that just ain’t i
got to be a little stronger just to stay a little longer
to be alright, it doesn’t matter why
why do i have to live with this potential h-ll?
and why do i have to give up this thing
i know how to do so well?
sometimes i wish i never woke up
but something, it broke the spell
why do i have to take a leap of faith like this?
out into the unknown, into a sultry life
but one i don’t want to miss
i gotta hand it to ya, brandy, my -ss is whipped
you lied to me and i fell hard for you
and you betrayed me with a kiss

[chorus]
