about

this song is about drinking too

lyrics

You know they say
Every empty bar was full once
So being there alone isn't that bad

You know they say
The fastest drinkers burn out first
So take your time, don't sweat it if you're last

The rocks filter, cold against your lips
The burn, oh it's slow and oh so rich
You'd fight but your allies have all gone home
And the battle's gotten boring anyway

But say my name
Three times into your glass
And I will rise up through the ice
Like a whiskey Aphrodite

And we can empty out the rest
Onto these blessed tongues
And we can make sure that tonight
Will end alright

We're two drinks in
And we're laughing as you try
To justify the slurring o f your speech

We're six shots in
And you're falling off your chair
If we split a taxi it'll be 5 bucks each

The rocks filter, cold against your lips
The burn, oh it's slow and oh so rich
You'd fight but your allies have all gone home
And the battle's gotten boring anyway

But say my name
Three times into your glass
And I will rise up through the ice
Like a whiskey Aphrodite

And we can empty out the rest
Onto these blessed tongues
And we can make sure that tonight
Will end alright

You'll forget this in the morning
So sleep it off while you can
