about

An ode to the last rung of society and support, alcohol culture

lyrics

The lovely ladies lactate lager,
That the lethargic leopards might,
Lustily locate, Their libations alleviate, frustrations damage mitigation,

(and he cries out)
A burnt toast to you all, I'll walk until I crawl,
Out of this hole in the wall, only to return, for the next daily burn

Small droplets form rivulets on the tongue, for every new dram is a ladder rung, to better ascend the heaven's of delerium, falling through the holes of a societal net, black jack danny's final bet,
(and he cries out)
A burnt toast to you all, I'll walk til I crawl, out of this hole in the wall, only to return, for the next daily burn
(All together now!)
Pickled eggs and desperate joy, in a sparsely furnished room, forty percent to our heads, our salvation and our doom, forty percent to our heads, in a sparsely furnished room,
Pickled eggs and desperate joy, Our salvation and our doom,
Our salvation and our doom, Our salvation and our doom
