Barrier Reef

The Empty Bottle was half empty, tide was low, and I was thirsty
Saw her sitting at the bar, you know how some girls are
Always making eyes, well she wasn’t making eyes
So I sidled up beside her, settled down and shouted, «Hi there.»
«My name’s Stewart Ransom Miller, I’m a serial lady-killer.»
She said, «I'm already dead,» that’s exactly what she said
So we tripped the lights fantastic, we was both made of elastic
Midnight came and midnight went, and I thought I was the President
She said, «Do you have a car,» and I said, «Do I have a car?»
What’s so great about the Barrier Reef?
What’s so fine about art?
What’s so good about a Good Times Van
When you’re working on a broken
Working on a broken
Working on a broken man?
When you’re working on a broken
Working on a broken
Working on a broken man?
My heart wasn’t in it, not for one single minute
I went through the motions with her.
Her on top, and me on liquor
Didn’t do no good, well I didn’t think it would
