Barleywine Bump |
Dance with me, my darling |
For the summer clock does grind |
And its hands are getting stronger |
Squeezing harder every time |
We can get so close, we feel the flames |
But we can’t quite see the fire |
Setting blaze to the pyre |
And now there’s blood on my kerchief |
Well I think my moment’s come |
Cuz the past and the future |
Are both blurring into one |
There’s a girl’s voice on the telephone |
Telling me that everything will be fine |
But all I’m picking up |
Is static on the line |
Soak the heart in brine |
Shoot it with salt and lime |
Cuz until the next time |
I’ll be somewhere swimming in the barley wine |
Fighting all the waves until I wash ashore again |
Underneath all of the pines |
Where we watched our garden grow |
Dreams so big only thoughts could go |
Coins so small they were never thrown to the sea |
Like wishes from the hands of poor boys just like me |
And I pay taxes on distance |
And there’s a fee for helplessness |
Retribution for nights spent |
On the drunk side of the fence |
I’ll gather what’s left and split it in two |
And place wagers with each of my pence |
One coin on guilty |
The other on innocence |
Soak the heart in brine |
Shoot it with salt and lime |
Cuz until the next time |
I’ll be somewhere swimming in the barley wine |
Fighting all the waves until I wash ashore again |
Underneath all of the pines |
Where we watched our garden grow |
Dreams so big only thoughts could go |
Coins so small they were never thrown to the sea |
Like wishes from the hands of poor boys just like me |
[ (Changes depending on the version:) |
Oh the only words left to say |
At the end of a motherfucking day |
It feels so good to be alive, oh yeah! |
Oh but my heart it still bleeds |
And my blood is gonna freeze |
So come on with me now |
Come on with me now! |
] |
So jump in the barley wine |
Dive to the bottom and close your eyes |
We’ll flow forever like dreams that were cast to the sea |
All at the cost of a dime |
And impossible |
Is nothing when you have a dream to hold |
We find our dreams in the glorious ever-loving |
Bottomless pot of gold |
Nothing at all |
