Measuring time by the bottle
[I’ve had more than a few]
And when all feeling has left me
This intoxication will do
My reactions are slowing
And my vision is blurred
Still, so long as I’m standing
And I can jumble my words
Into some kind of sentences
[Monosyllabic at best]
Can’t you see that I’m trying?
Though I’m not sure what I said
Did I just speak that out loud?
Or was it stuck in my head...
I take from your leaving
That you mean to say yes
My last drop of common sense
Spilled in my last drop of drink
And I hate to admit it
But I really don’t think
This was my wisest move
[I say that every time]
But I’ve already started
And I’m way past the line
Cause “One more”’s keep adding up
With almost no effort at all
Yet it’s taking forever
As I stumble and crawl
Up this hated staircase
On only my hands and knees
With everyone laughing
[I think directly at me]
I’m starting to wish now
That I had already left
And as I reach for another
Well you can probably guess
I’m spinning in circles
While slumped on the floor
But here’s to last orders
[Please show me the door]
Knowing this time tomorrow
I’m gonna have hell to pay
Though, no doubt soon enough
I will be there to stay
I guess it’s good company
[Better than this party at least]
But maybe it’s my fault
That all humour has ceased
Cause I’m dragging up stories
To cover up my mistakes
Just digging in deeper
With my spade set to break
And for all of my efforts
It just keeps getting worse
Certainly won’t be the last time
[It’s not exactly the first]
They’ve all seen it before
Everyone knows how it ends
So why don’t they stop me?
[They’re hardly great friends]
They make it so hard to rely
Upon anyone else
What’s even worse is I can’t
Even rely on myself
So I’m sorry, yes I’m sorry
But this’ll happen again
So don’t invite me next time
As this is how it always ends
Measuring time by the bottle
[I’ve had more than a few]
And when all feeling has left me
This intoxication will do
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR!
Four tequila, Five tequila, just keep adding more!
Six tequila, seven tequila, lets get up to EIGHT!
Nine tequila, ten tequila, hell, it's far too late
Eleven tequila, twelve tequila, thirteen tequila slammers
Just one more is all i need to really get me hammered!!!
