Sober, life is a prison
|
Shitfaced, it is a blessing
|
Sober, nobody wants you
|
Shitfaced, they're all undressing
|
|
Oh, sober, it's ever darker
|
Shitfaced, the moon is nearer
|
Sober, you're old and ugly
|
Shitfaced, who needs a mirror?
|
|
Oh sober, you're a Cro-Magnon
|
Shitfaced, you're very clever
|
Sober, you never should be
|
Shitfaced, now and forever
|
|
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 till I'm feeling no pain
|
Guess what I'll be feeling
|
|
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 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
|
|
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
|
And God knows that ain't cheap
|
