Kiss The Bottle

It gets loneliest at night
 Down at the liquor store
 Beneath the neon sky, my moonlight
 Six a.m., the floor comes alive with lice
 The pan's dried up so tight
 With hardened beans, we're hungry
 So I lean on you sometimes
 Just to see you're still there
 Your feet can't take the weight of one
 Much less two, we hit concrete
 How were we born into this mess?
 I know I painted you a prettier picture, baby
 We were run out on a rail
 Fell from the wagon to the night train
 I kissed the bottle
 I should've been kissing you
 You wake up to an empty night
 With tears for two
 Cigarettes they fill the gaps
 In our empty days, in our broken teeth
 We're jonesing
 Say mister, can you spare a dime?
 Some change could make a change
 Could buy some time, some freedom
 Or an ear to hear my story
 It's all I've got, my fiction
 Beats the hell out of my truth
 A palm upturned burnt blue
 Don't call it sunburn
 You've been shaking on the job
 Just one drink ahead of your past
 There's a white light coming up
 You draw the blinds hoping it'll pass
 I kissed the bottle
 I should've been kissing you
 You wake up to an empty night
 With tears for two
 I kissed the bottle
 I should've been kissing you
 You wake up to an empty night
 With tears for two
 With tears for two
