lyrics

SCATTER MY BRAINS AS WE SCATTER LIKE MICE
ALONG WITH GOOD OLE’ FORTUNE AND A SWEET NOTION THAT WE’RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
AND MAYBE TONIGHT YOU’LL FIND SOMEONE WHO AIN’T THE DECEIVEING KIND
PULL ME TO PORT AND FILL ME WITH RUM, WE’LL BE WALKIN’ ON JAGGED LINES
UNTIL OUR BODIES SAY WE’RE DONE
AND AT THE END OF THE NIGHT YOU’LL FIND THAT I AIN’T NO DEVEIVING SON

WHERE THE WHISKEY IS FREE IS THE PLACE FOR ME
IN THE DARKEST BARS ON DARKER STREETS WHERE THE HOOKERS MEET
SO WE TURN DOWN THE LIGHTS AND LOCK THE DOORS TIGHT
IT’S ONLY VILLAINS AND THIEVES WITH THEIR BITTER NEEDS

GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK FILLED WITH ARTHRITIS
ALONG WITH GOOD OLE’ FORTUNE AND A SWEET NOTION
THAT WE’RE GONNA GET THROUGH THIS
DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO FIND SOME INPIRATIONAL BLISS
PULL ME TO PORT AND FILL ME WITH DRUGS, WE’LL BE WALKIN’ ON JAGGED LINES
UNTIL OUR BODIES SAY WE’RE DONE
AND AT THE END OF THE NIGHT YOU’LL FIND THAT I AIN’T NO DEVEIVING SON

WHERE THE WHISKEY IS FREE IS THE PLACE FOR ME
IN THE DARKEST BARS ON DARKER STREETS WHERE THE HOOKERS MEET
SO WE TURN DOWN THE LIGHTS AND LOCK THE DOORS TIGHT
IT’S ONLY VILLAINS AND THIEVES WITH THEIR BITTER NEEDS
SO DARLIN’, DARLIN’ GIVE ME YOUR SOUL. DIG ME OUT OF THIS ROTTEN HOLE
IF I GOTTA PAY FOR THIS LOVE OF SORTS, I’M GONNA GET MY MONEY’S WORTH
WHERE THE WHISKEY IS FREE IS THE PLACE FOR ME
IN THE DARKEST BARS ON DARKER STREETS WHERE THE HOOKERS MEET
