Lyrics:
Well I took a job at a liquor store
Man ain’t I pretty being such an alco-whore
As I dipped myself in champagne problems
Stinking fur coat, broken speed boat sorrows
Ive never seen so many suits with such shaking hands
And the bell keeps ringing
And the door keeps spinning
As I try to make a living
Soaking ties in whiskey brands
This can not be the master plan
Went from beggar to healer back to beggar in the know
Skinny fuck up going chemo pro
Jumped straight in to be some hospital valet
Try my best to comprehend a thing the doctors say
I never heard such gore without a panic attack
And the phone keeps ringing
And my head starts spinning
As I now make a living
Giving meaning to an endless cul de sac
This must be some master gag
Life just keeps on going
Like nothing’s changed
But I can’t unsee the nurse fail to replace the clogging drains
There was blood on the walls
And dripping down his lap
We just laughed about it
Cause we both already snapped way back
To busy with the scans and the doctors gall
To busy being so fucking unemotional
The sick and the pills that make your skin crawl
To busy with the vomit in every public restroom stall
to busy driving you to the hospital
To busy to even think you might not survive at all
It’s hard to believe when it’s all done
When the phone stops ringing
And the wheels stop spinning
And your still used to a living
that could turn out to be simple slow earn run
This must be the masters fun
Now I’m back here in this liquor store
And suddenly all these people are such a fucking bore
Who ever thought I would be back to brag
About some shitty overpriced K.O cognac
It’s like nothing happened but it’s all tame
And the bell keeps ringing
And the world keeps spinning
You’re still among the living
But you’re just not the same
Still a loser at the masters game
Hey man You turned 60 today
I came by and we just sat outside all day
I honestly thought you would not make it this far
And still after everything thing you went through now here you fucking are
You looked at me and I looked at you
We didn’t say a thing but I now know that we both knew
We’re just waiting for the masters cue
