The Murder City Devils - Alcohol lyrics

Here's a story of a sinner Who used to be a winner Who enjoyed a life of promise and position But the pressures of the office And the socialite engagements And the selfish wife's fanatical ambition So he turned it to the booze And he mixed up with a floozy And she lead him to a life of indecision The floozy made him spend his dough And left him lying on skid row Drunk and lacking some salvation of emission It's such a shame Oh, demon alcohol Sad memories I can't recall Who thought I would say, damn it all Blow it all Oh, demon alcohol Memories I can't recall Who thought I would fall A slave to demon alcohol Sad memories I can't recall Who thought I would fall A slave to demon alcohol Bottled wine, pitch in He'll drink anything Por per no aur, tequila Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks As long as all the troubles disappear He messed up his life When he beat up his wife The floozy's gone and found another s**er She'll turn him to the drink She'll lead him to the brink When the money's gone, she'll leave him in the gutter It's such a shame Oh, demon alcohol Sad memories I cannot recall Who thought I would say, damn it all Alcohol Oh, demon alcohol Memories I can't recall Who thought I would fall A slave to demon alcohol Sad memories I can recall Who thought I would fall A slave to demon alcohol
