Ludo Drunken Lament Lyrics

Drunken Lament Lyrics

Self-loathing is quaint

You told me, showing restraint

Now you're
gone, and I'm lost

In the swells, I am tossed

Bobbing and choking
and losing the fight in the fog



You said forever

Tell me why
can't you stay?



CHORUS

I'd ride in your pocket all day

But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change

I'm throwing a party
tonight

I drink more than a sailor I'm sure

Pour the rum in my eyes,
tell me lies



Oh...



Drunk since Saturday

Without
you, without restraint

(Ahhh)

It still stings where you stung

Water swings in my lungs

I'm starving for words that would ration my
sadness away



Tell me forever

Tell me you'll come back to
stay



CHORUS



I'd ride in your pocket all day

But
I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change

I'm throwing a party
tonight

I drink more than a sailor I'm sure

Pour the rum in my
eyes, tell me lies



You were the mermaid for me

Till one day,
you found your feet

Leaving me

In the God-awful bottle, a model of
heartache and grief



CHORUS



I'd ride in your pocket
all day

But I just don't fit, say the word and I'll change

I'm
throwing a party tonight

I drink more than a sailor I'm sure

Pour
the rum in my eyes, tell me lies
