tankard – barfly lyrics
d.t. empty stare and body shiver
whisky – need a shot to stop the quiver
i’ve been here for days or minutes
where is here? i couldn’t tell
somewhere in the outer limits
pretty close, i guess, to h-ll
hazy names and places
foggy memory
help me – mister, can you spare a dollar?
need a drink before i start to holler
seedy bars is where i hang out
crawling up the strip all night
dodging tabs and seeking spenders
p-ssing out or starting fights
it’s a way of living
in the underworld
close to the edge – barfly
ready to fall
walking the ledge – barfly
nothing or all
playing your part – barfly
searching… barfly
barrooms – stench of beer, the smell of losers
lowlifes – aging wh-r-s and senile boozers
we’re a family of zombies
but a family nonetheless
gotta hang on to each other
when your life’s a filthy mess
fighting for survival
fighting loneliness
way out – got a choice, i’m not a dumb one
create – write a book and be a someone
memoirs very popular
in those intellectual circles
barfly turns to cult – scene start
sleaze can be attractive
viewed from safer sh-r-s
close to the edge – barfly
ready to fall
nothing or all – barfly
searching… barfly
