Fruvous Moxy The Drinking Song Lyrics

The Drinking Song Lyrics

And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred.
Drunk on the lawn in a
nuclear dawn,
My senses finally blurred..

He was a rock
Til the
end, a solid reminder
Couldn't deny a friend
We lived in the noise and

The sweet amber poison
Peeking up the skirt of the end
And we'd
drink
Two gnarly dudes and some records
Much like plates of black
food
We filled up our faces
Saw some far places
Stood on the roof in
the nude.

And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred.
Drunk
on the lawn in a nuclear dawn,
My senses finally blurred..

Between
poles, he said,
"We're like cows in the grass.
Brushing off
flies
Chez lounging around
Standing up falling down
Til we no longer
opened our eyes."
And we'd drink
Ever notice how drinking's like
war?
Cup o troops oe'r the guns
Til the end of our health
A campaign
'gainst myself
Armed with bourbons and scotches and rums

And the band
played on
As the helicopters whirred.
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear
dawn,
My senses finally blurred..

Think of bombs
We're poised on
the edge of disaster
Whether it's right or it's wrong
We opened the
window
Played some nintendo
Sang a few bars of some pretty old
song.
"Irene good night. Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight
Irene
I'll see you, in my dreams."
Oh to dream, those
impotent
Bones of extinction
Flying graceful and free.
None but the
best, 
Cause the man cannot rest
Til he's finally beaten his
me

And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred.
Drunk on the
lawn in a nuclear dawn,
My senses finally blurred..

Til the end, he
passed on the 
Sundeck that morning
Quietly saying goodbye
But I was
so hammered I sputtered and stammered
Told him he couldn't just die
He
was rock
Went straight for his own armegeddon
Face froze in a
grin
Ambulance flying in, I never drank again
Can't really call that a
loss or a win

And the band played on
As the helicopters
whirred.
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn,
My senses finally blurred..
