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 |
