Lyrics

Thirsty (?leaving las Vegas?)

A slice of jaundiced sunlight breaking through the broken blind
Is boring through my eyelids crusted thick like orange rind
To face the day, a firing squad, I wink in wincing pain
A Lilliputian army?s driving needles in my brain

These Cenubites have started a pincushion inside my head
A glass of stale water?s an oasis by my bed
It shimmers like a mirage, so near and yet so far
To reach it prop a ladder up against a falling star

I crawl across the carpet, which is carpeted with ash
My hand gets there before me it lays hold of the stash
Nectar to my mouth parched as a desert bloom
The liquid hits the spot and spins a top around the room

chorus
Thirsty I?ve got to sink a drink I?m
Thirsty to bring me to the brink
Thirsty To put me in the pink
To make the final link
To never have to think
Drink me
Thirsty
Cheers, don?t mind if I do

Quench me and put the fire out
Drench me; end this eternal drought
Wrench free the blocked up waterspout
Clean the mess I?m in
Soak my throat in gin
Fill me up to the skin




I try and fail to hypnotise myself to fall asleep!!!
I?m whispering to God the promise I will never keep
Heal me now and I ?ll never drink again
Renounce this sodden life if you will take away the pain !!!
I beg a God who doesn?t care
Who knows I don?t believe is there

This time I swear it to myself but my resolve is vain!!!
No connections in my head, chaos in my brain
To sober up I need a glass and god I need it now
With no remorse I pour the fluid as I dismiss my vow
No shame no pride no regrets, I failed again but soon I?ll be feeling great

chorus
