Barfly |
| D.T. empty stare and body shiver |
| Whisky — need a shot to stop the quiver |
| I’ve been here for days or minutes |
| Where is here? |
| I couldn’t tell |
| Somewhere in the outer limits |
| Pretty close, I guess, to Hell |
| Hazy names and places |
| Foggy memory |
| Help me — Mister, can you spare a dollar? |
| Need a drink before I start to holler |
| Seedy bars is where I hang out |
| Crawling up the Strip all night |
| Dodging tabs and seeking spenders |
| Passing out or starting fights |
| It’s a way of living |
| In the underworld |
| Close to the edge — Barfly |
| Ready to fall |
| Walking the ledge — Barfly |
| Nothing or all |
| Playing your part — Barfly |
| Searching… Barfly |
| Barrooms — stench of beer, the smell of losers |
| Lowlifes — aging whores and senile boozers |
| We’re a family of zombies |
| But a family nonetheless |
| Gotta hang on to each other |
| When your life’s a filthy mess |
| Fighting for survival |
| Fighting loneliness |
| Way out — got a choice, I’m not a dumb one |
| Create — write a book and be a someone |
| Memoirs very popular |
| In those intellectual circles |
| Barfly turns to cult — scene start |
| Sleaze can be attractive |
| Viewed from safer shores |
| Close to the edge — Barfly |
| Ready to fall |
| Nothing or all — Barfly |
| Searching… Barfly |
