Testo Lamont's Lament

Sad is the man who drinks with himself,
to fog up the day that precedes,
from sad then to happy
from happy to bitter
that bitter old man is me.

Hey (hey), drink it all away
I said hey (hey), drink it all away and i dance for the light of the stars in the sky,
and sleep all alone tonight,

1 for my headaches, 2 for the road.
3 for my family and 4 for the show.
5 for my sorrows, 6 for my wrongs.
7 to hell with this song.

hey (hey), drink it all away
i said hey (hey), drink it all away
and i dance for the light of the stars in the sky
and sleep all alone tonight

well everyone feels the need to belong,
everyone feels the need for a cause. the forces of nature are naturally sure,
but where's the effect? where's the effect?
