lyrics
I’ve got chords in the back of my throat,
and they jangle to life when you say hello:
“The bartender here has the most perfect pour —
so clean and precise, so self-assured,
and brightened by flames off the peel of an orange.
Find me a man who could ask you for more
(and if you can find him, then show him the door, cause
he’s not worth our time).”
Sugar and lime and juniper gin,
I’ll raise a glass to you, my friend.
Speak of it once, and never again;
the stripes of faith that did you in.
Resting my arms on the fine polished oak
I’ll quip a bon mot, tell a good joke.
If there’s change in your pockets, then you’re in luck —
come on boys, it’s time to get fucked.
Pilsner & highballs & Maker’s Mark, neat,
Just don’t try to line up your feet
You’ll be down on your ass and then out on the street,
it just isn’t a great idea.
Sugar and lime and juniper gin,
I’ll raise a glass to you, my friend.
Speak of it once, and never again;
the stripes of faith that did you in.
Bodies like satellites clutter the space
But we’ll stick around, since we’ve been here since 8
And avoid any talk about Catholic beliefs
When you’re trying to get laid, they get stuck in your teeth.
And then there’s the lights and it’s time to go home —
I put my hand up, and say, “One for the road.”
The sense that I’m getting’s that I’m on my own
But I’ll be waiting here.
Sugar and lime and juniper gin,
I’ll raise a glass to you, my friend.
Speak of it once, and never again;
the stripes of faith that did you in.
