[00:05.34] New Drink for the Old Drunk - We Are Augustines
[00:17.04] Would you try?
[00:18.11]
[00:18.85] Could you buy a new drink for the old drunk
[00:25.16] It's no crime to resign misery with a bottle
[00:32.96]
[00:33.52] You walked into town without making a sound
[00:37.95] And you slipped and you slammed your face into the crowd
[00:42.07] As you tried to forget all the words that were said
[00:45.87] To deny all the things that you keep in your head
[00:50.24] When you came you were new but today you're much older
[00:58.38] You were spent so you went to get used in the corner
[01:06.18]
[01:06.75] Where they kicked you around like a rodeo clown
[01:11.24] And it echoed through town they were beating you down
[01:15.29] And as the the word then spread that you liked how it hurt
[01:19.42] All at once you were cause for a pitiful cure
[01:23.76]
[01:24.44] Hours pass by half forgotten
[01:28.56] Night turns black cause it's rotten
[01:32.56] And we slide right to the bottom
[01:36.73] Our tongues made out of cotton
[01:40.48]
[01:41.23] Eyes seal shut in a slumber
[01:44.98] Til we hear someone mumble
[01:49.29] Could you spare from the tumbler
[01:53.40] A new drink a new for the old drunk
[01:58.02]
[02:05.51] Now you waste all your days in the dark in the corner
[02:13.43] Without light without grace where you wait for the slaughter
[02:21.80] Where they spit in your face as the hours grow late
[02:25.96] And they laugh as they lie and then seal up your fate
[02:30.40] And you cringe as you binge to forget how you hate
[02:34.33] All the doom in the pitiful room you create
[02:38.76]
[02:39.51] Hours pass by half forgotten
[02:43.45] Night turns black cause it's rotten
[02:47.62] And we slide right to the bottom
[02:51.81] Our tongues made out of cotton
[02:55.98] Eyes sealed shut in a slumber
[03:00.04] Til we hear someone mumble
[03:04.29] Could you spare from the tumbler
[03:08.41] A new drink for the old drunk
[03:14.36]
[03:16.67]
