lyrics

..

Ones' tanning hide,
From this rigid heat.
Those yellowing eyes,
From the filthy drink.
No shade could shelter from a fever,
Without ambition to break.
Lord save this salt stained collar,
Against the nape of a knave.

A calloused grip,
Around a barren cup.
Its nil by tap so,
Its nil by mouth.
Plunder the vessels for dregs,
Upon two stammering legs.
Muster up a glass half full,
For the gullet that begs.

Keep the chin up nix sticks,
Nor place pennies on the lids.
Shelve the comfort of a coffin,
Or any box that fits.
Then manifest,
The Devils' address.
On a day better suiting,
To his long absent guest.
