about

A song about mortality & drinking.

lyrics

“Meat Sack Blues”

It’s true I sometimes frown and I’m not so elegant sometimes I drink enough to drown a small elephant
we wander around and we party we like to have some fun
but what do we squander and are we proud one day is done?
what do we squander and are we proud one day is done?

Smoking like a chimney through crack dry lips my soul chokes within me as the time slips
I’m paying a pretty penny just to make my insides black
Im my own worst enemy and I’m under attack
my body in a temple it’s a shotgun shack
An electrical charge flowing through a Meatsack An electrical charge flowing through a Meatsack

crawling on my hands and knees across the planet
bumping into things that I can’t see God dammit driving my flesh car down to the corner bar
so I can giggle and order me up a drink
when I plop down on the stool just like I think that I’m cool
If you don’t pickle yourself you’ll start to stink
if you don’t pickle yourself you’ll start to stink

and I’m decomposing right in front of your face
I might have some closing remarks before I leave this place
but until then bartender I lament the truth I’m gonna have another round
I’m gonna ferment my youth while I’m above ground
I’m gonna ferment in my youth while I’m above ground
