Kiss The Bottle

It gets loneliest at night, down at the liquor store
 Beneath the neon sky, our moonlight
 Six AM, 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
 But we were run out on a rail
 Fell from the wagon to the night train
 I kissed the bottle
 I should have 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 have been kissing you
 You wake up to an empty night
 With tears for two
