Cocktail (feat. Spencer Cullum Jr.) Songtext

And I'd get a little green
I could be dancing on one leg
Enjoying the masquerade
Oh, I’m not making any lemonade
But I got lemons if you need

In my meandering way
I'd sing a serenade
And sip a cocktail
My very own world view
I'd tell the people I knew
A-through a cocktail
Who can you turn to
When the world is bleeding you dry?
Oh, I'll turn you loose
To wither in the day light

Sometimes I feel like a corpse
With a lifetime subscription
Ain't that a strange proposition Of thankless sacrifice?

Now how is every day the same
In a variety of places?
All the dull and empty spaces
In the middle of a crowd
I could be slipping off the wing of a dove
Or tied up onto the train tracks
But either way, I ain't coming back
The only way out is down
Yeah, the only way out, my friend
Is falling down
