Sober, life is a prison
|
Shitfaced, it is a blessing
|
Sober, nobody wants you
|
Shitfaced, they're all undressing
|
Sober, it's ever darker
|
Shitfaced, the moon is nearer
|
Sober, you're old and ugly
|
Shitfaced, who needs a mirror?
|
Sober, you're a cro-magnun
|
Shitfaced, you're very clever
|
Sober, you never should be
|
Shitfaced, now and forever!
|
|
[chorus]
|
I gotta get too drunk to dream
|
'cause dreaming only makes me blue
|
i gotta get too drunk to dream
|
because i only dream of you
|
|
i gotta get too pissed to miss you
|
or i'll never get to sleep
|
i gotta drink wine not to pine for you
|
and god knows that ain't cheap
|
|
i know you think i'm insane
|
i know it's not appealing
|
but til i'm feeling no pain
|
guess what i'll be feeling?
|
|
{chorus}
|
|
I gotta get too fried to cry,
|
or i'll be crying all night long
|
i gotta get too high to sigh
|
oh my god where did i go wrong?
|
|
So why do i get plastered?
|
and why am i so lonely?
|
it's you, you heartless bastard
|
you're my one and only!
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
i gotta get too pissed to miss you
|
or i'll never get to sleep
|
i gotta drink wine not to pine for you
|
and god knows that ain't cheap
|
and god knows that ain't cheap!
