Robyn Hitchcock - A Skull, a Suitcase, and a Long Red Bottle of Wine lyrics

And in the evening when you fade away The same thing happens every single day 'Cause when your dreams come true they pretty soon decay There's nothing you can do to change your mind You're disappearing or you're going blind And when you're gone there won't be anything behind Except a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine A skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine You're disappearing in a purple fog It's a machine and you're its faithful cog You love your woman but you just don't love her dog Which means you get a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine A skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine There you go putting up no resistance You just wander off through the town Lock yourself out and drown But when you're gone, does it make any difference If there's nobody else around? The only way up is down The giant sun sets red behind the haze Like a balloon that has just lost its way You never dreamed that stuff would get you in its sway Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine Gimme a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine Red bottle of wine Red bottle of wine Red bottle of wine Red bottle of wine Red bottle of wine Red bottle of wine Red bottle of wine
