Lyrics

Come and have a drink with me, my baby
come and have a drink beside my bed.
come and have a drink with me my baby,
Don’t tell me that the world is full of light
don’t tell me that the world is full of light
when you know I can’t see shit for all the blinding weakness.

Janey used to visit with her Jack.
She don’t come by no more.
She took up with a vet from Vietnam.
They drink behind her kitchen door.
No harm in talking to myself.
Got my own Jack on the shelf.
(Sing – cuckoo, cuckoo.)

You saying you were out of town last night?
I found your old bed unmade.
Someone left a glass beside the clock.
Someone drew the shade.
I thought I fell asleep to the TV
but I guess it could have been me.
(Sing – cuckoo, cuckoo.)

They’re going to hide their eyes
they’re moving onto other things
Don’t take them by surprise
Don’t let on when you’re listening.
They’re going to hide their eyes
though shrinking’s even interesting.
Don’t take them by surprise
Don’t let on when you’re listening.

Come and have a drink with me, my baby
come and have a drink beside my bed
lie with me tonight, I will not touch you:
tell me that the world is full of light
tell me that the world is full of light.

Deepwater Horizon Burning (instrumental)
