lyrics

Spent the night getting wasted drunk,
too cold to sleep
Riding on the shoe leather express
Through the empty streets
Hit the bottle til the last drop
Got no time to waste
Gotta make it to a liquor store
Before it’s too late

Count out my change, got less than a buck
It’s been a slow day
Need to find some cash and fast
Get some dough to pay my way
Heading downtown, pick some pockets
Consider it charity
Half the fun’s in the thrill of the hunt
On the search for more whiskey

Midnight downtown
It was crowded as hell
Wait outside the bars
Where the rich fucks dwell

Robbed a couple of yuppies
Got a decent score
Picked up a fifth and two packs of smokes
Down at the liquor store

Empty alley, laying low
Light up a cigarette
Sitting back, feeling good
Keeping my palette wet
