Barstool Blues


If I could hold on

to just one thought

For long enough to know

Why my mind is moving so fast

And the conversation is slow.

Burn off all the fog

And let the sun

through to the snow

Let me see your face again

Before I have to go.


I have seen you in the movies

And in those magazines at night

I saw you on the barstool when

You held that glass so tight.

And I saw you in my nightmares

But I'll see you in my dreams

And I might live a thousand years

Before I know what that means.


Once there was a friend of mine

Who died a thousand deaths

His life was filled with parasites

And countless idle threats.

He trusted in a woman

And on her he made his bets

Once there was a friend of mine

Who died a thousand deaths.
