Lyrics
Sat down by the end of the wood with a pint glass last night. Downed some beer and a Johnnie Red by the flame of a light. Some sequined mistress with one blue eye and a megabyte told me she almost put a gun to her own website. Nicotine Jim with the wide-ass grin and a barrel of debt. Stood in the corner with a flame thrower and a sure hand bet. Stone-eyeted Matt with the opera hat says he's wrecked his life. It don't take much with the Bull Street bunch, but hey, he's got a beautiful wife.
No explanations, no alibis, no premonitions roll across my eyes.
Strung out Nancy's got a screen fancy comin round the bend. It's a two-act thing with a tragic swing, but it's got no end. Master Ted just came from bed, says, "the night's still young". I'm a free man on the witness stand, but in the mornin' I'll be hung. Two-faced jack with the jet pack gonna fly to the moon. Says he'll settle there, just sit and stare, but I'll be home real soon. Terminal John says he's fallen in love, his ship just came in. She's a brown beauty, but her name is Rudy, but hey, sometimes ya can't win.
No explanations, no alibis, no premonitions roll across my eyes.
No inhibitions, no souls to sell, just intoxication in this nightcap world.
You are shrink-wrapped in a life trapped inside this nightcap world.
No explanations, no alibis, no premonitions roll across my eyes.
No inhibitions, no souls to sell, just intoxication in this nightcap world.
