A Skull, a Suitcase & a Long Red Bottle of Wine

Lyrics

And in the evening when you fade away
 The same thing happens every single day
 'Cause when your dreams come true
 They pretty soon decay
 There's nothing you can do to change your mind
 You're disappearing or you're going blind
 And when you're gone there won't be anything behind
 Except a skull, a suitcase and a long red bottle of wine
 A skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
 You're disappearing in a purple fog
 It's a machine and you're its faithful cog
 You love your woman but you just don't love her dog
 Which means you get a skull, a suitcase
 And a long red bottle of wine
 A skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
 There you go putting up no resistance
 You just wander off through the town
 Lock yourself out and drown
 But when you're gone, does it make any difference
 If there's nobody else around? The only way up is down
 The giant sun sets red behind the haze
 Like a balloon that has just lost it's way
 You never dreamed that stuff would get you in it's sway
 Give me a skull, a suitcase and a long red bottle of wine
 Gimme a skull, a suitcase and a long red bottle of wine
 Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
 Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
 Red bottle of wine, red bottle of wine
 Red bottle of wine, red bottle of wine
 Red bottle of wine, red bottle of wine
 Red bottle of wine
