Lyrics
Blue Martinis
music/lyrics by Allen Wentz
She works the floor from 8 to dawn
Wishing they might all be gone
Balancing trays and sanity with great aplomb
Got a boss in the back who's often drunk
Would like to see him quartered, in a trunk
Wants to get home before the morning sun shows up
She fills the shaker with lots of ice
Thought to blow her brains out once or twice
Blue Martinis don't give advice to strangers
Better look twice before you cross
Directions would imply you're lost
Your satellite hosting GPS is down tonight
I can't live without you near me
I could never hold up that way
Yet she, puts up with it every day
You got nothing from that guru
Your eyes are staring right back at you
A train is coming down the track from far away
What you see is someone bleeding
Its you, your heart that needs love feeding
Every breath of air is for the one you love
chorus
Plant the seed, enjoy the process, soon you'll see what love has brought us
guitar break
Bottoms up, its last call rising
One last patron, not surprising
Stubborn as the night is long its time to close
Clean the joint and warm the engine
The bite of cold requires attention
Blue Martinis don't give advice to strangers
chorus
