lyrics

This drink has left a bad taste
But you've already missed your train
There's no one left here to frame
So you've no one but yourself to blame
The poison has left you stained
Last call, last stop, drink down the last drop
You don't hear a word that I say
You've got a thirst, and enough isn't ever enough
Failing to keep the Devil at bay

Your eyes turn the red that is all that is left of what you see
The drink makes a cleft that drips with your blood and your sweat while you dream
Of days and of nights gone by in the blink of an eye
Of days and of nights gone by in the blink of an eye
And you don't hear a word that I say
Failing to keep the Devil at bay
You don't hear a word that I say
Failing to keep the Devil at bay

It's after hours and the bar is now closed
The only ones left are insatiable ghosts
Even the flies have abandoned their posts
Out on the sidewalk a paper bag in your hold
When you'll be quenched God only knows
And you don't even hear a word
No, you don't even hear a word
That I say

Your eyes turn the red that is all that is left of what you see
The drink makes a cleft that drips with your blood and your sweat while you dream
Of days and of nights gone by in the blink of an eye
Of days and of nights gone by in the blink of an eye
And you don't hear a word that I say
Failing to keep the Devil at bay
You don't hear a word that I say
Failing to keep the Devil at bay
You don't hear a word that I say
Failing
Failing to keep the Devil at bay
