lyrics

To live for the weekend, and Monday be downhearted
A hopeless dead end, that’s how this week started
I’m the drunk among my friends - the booze got me retarded
This is top-class sport, but I’ve never been rewarded
I’m dry until Friday, and then I bike to the pub
I don’t want to be delayed, because sober friends might ask what’s up
I drink two beers and wait, for people to show up
Light-headed I’m safe, although I don’t perceive it
Because I’m too far gone, I was shitfaced all along
You need a few achievements
Like a psychedelic band, you have nothing to my grieving
I know you prefer men, but can you please explain the meaning
Without a deck and cigarettes, this is as good as it gets
Five or six trappists, got me don’t know how to act
I start to speak the truth, when I’m trying to attract
No less a person than you, not really my trump card
I feel like just any fool, who’s trying not to take heart
To seduce a girl like you, I just want us to be cool
Wrote my findings on a beermat, because walls have ears
Had to make it disappear
This coming to light, is one of my biggest fears
I crumpled it up in my hand
And hoped the ink would run out, by my abundant sweat
What an idea to stash, it in a defective urinal
This isn’t The Godfather, with once more a funeral
Better go to the bother, of returning to the crime scene
Before they fix the toilet, and the bar tender will spoil it
My conscience bothers me, when I’m drunk with the beer
This explains all the apologies - I always make good cheer
But the day after I regret, all the things I’ve said
To you my Royal Hotness, one day I’ll break my head
If I go on like this, but the booze is all I have
And I will always find the cash, to get my brain sedated
I’m a man of blood and flesh, and you got me infatuated

Yesterday I've been drinking; I'm getting the hang of this
I got to stop thinking, in Facebook statuses
Going out in disguise, sounds like a good idea
Because all the local guys, know awkward things about me
I'm institutionalized, a change of environment
Is strongly advised, the bar isn’t my horizon
Nowadays I wake up, with as good as nothing
No girlfriend, no job, I'm trying to think up something
When I get up in the morning, I got to find shelter
Because parents are patrolling
They show up without a warning
Sniffing at my door, like a beat up horse
Fits of paranoia, in my own house
I feel like a stowaway, on a ship at sea
That's pretty far away, from mooring in a quiet bay
The only difference is, that I don't see the world
I only see the sky, and the clouds that uncurl
Not a day goes by, that I don't think of this girl
Have to rely on myself, and the sails I unfurl
The pain in my neck, is probably going to last
If I don't find a job fast, I'll remain a hotel guest
Who never pays his rent
To live in a golden cage, that isn't rageproof
My whole life takes place, under this roof
Trying not to lose, my mind and go apeshit
Looking everywhere for booze, but the bottles I hit
Carry past dates, an alcoholic wouldn’t fit
Here for one single day
But still my parents call me names
I bet you don’t know what I mean, because you’re one of the happy ones
Born where the grass is green, you don’t have to pull stunts
To be happy on the scene, you don’t resort to blunts
I have horrible dreams, because I always wake up
Please get out of my head; I don’t want to get stuck
In the moments we shared, I always have bad luck
There’s a lot on my mind, you can tell by my frown
But I really need a margin, to wear the pain down
If you ask me, being in love is overrated
If you rely on how I feel, I wish I were infatuated
