Pass me the whisky I need to still me
Pass me the glass I need to steal me away
No no don't do anything to distill me
Tell me that you love me
I'll be forgetting I'm just a lowly whore
Feed my foolish dream I could be a wife
That I could tempt you away from your other life
Oh lord how long must I bide
I need someone to steal me away
Somehting to still me today
Oh lord, how long til I die
Deliver me numb to my pain
For peace never stumbled this way...
Tell me how it feels to have a back strong like a wall
Not a burning out car
You got splendor and taste at the tips of your fingers
But where I'm sleeping rough is where I'm seeking true love
Oh lord how long must I bide
Gimme someone to steal me away
Someone to topple my pain
Oh lord won't I be  bride
Someone to topple my shame
He could come eclipse my name
I write on the back of a cigarette pack
That we're all aged like stars
I'm made up of some else's joy and someone's scars
That velvet-fingered dope that I smoke
Dupes me for a second that I am free
Like some great unbothered oak tree..
Oh lord how long 'ti I'm mine
I need someone to steal me away
Deliver me numb to this pain
Oh lord how long til i die
Someone to steal me away
Someone to steal me away
Peace may just tumble this way.....
