Barstools and Dreamers

(This transcription lies heavily in my interpretation of the song — the\nLyrics in many parts are unclear, but my words sound right… see what you\nCome up with, let me know!)\n(I'd also like to say that this was the overall hardest song to do — not only\nBecause it’s long, but also because there’s so many puns and hard words to\nUnderstand completely — great tune with great poetry, though!)\nThe barstool’s built for dreamers\nWill fit fine, and find\nAll those in the world whose dreams have died\nBut tonight they’re only taking thirsty people\nWho’ve been pulling on their drinks\nFrom a glass lies appaling quiet\nAnd in the drink there swim the swimmers\nAnd those who swims have dried\nYou take another look\nTake another poll\nTake another pull\nBefore you take a ride\nHeir to an open barstool\nRight there just wanna marry the fool\nMary sees the bartender’s needs\nAnd she sets in a bottle that she was born to be\nI say that’s cool\nJust right — right for a fool\nThinking whiskey, she bought me a drink\nI won’t cross a word of what the lady thinks\nPray I don’t cross what the lady thinks\nNo, she’s been thinking out too loud, though\nThis time I can’t hear the pinball machine\nAnd there’s a birdman playing tired sideway bongo
