about

Recorded in Doylestown, PA

lyrics

Her picture frame has gone insane
Showing pictures of other men
I could feel bad, but I don't
I could leave her, but I won't
Oh me oh my

She's a long in the jaw type of woman
Lots of tears that child cried
Cried them from her eyes
Yes she did

Give me drink or give me drugs mama
Cause I can't live sober with you

Take a short walk to the equator
With a six pack and a constant hum
Well, a short walk turns to a long run
And the day has suddenly lost its fun

So, I return to our cabin
To see you kissing there
With your old friend blue
What should I do?

Give me drink or give me drugs mama
Cause I can't live sober with you
And you know it's true

Well, we decided to test our will and faith
And descended right into the cave
It sleeps 666 people comfortably
And everybody knows your name

Cheers! We said as we grabbed the glass
And filled it with our pain
But as I drank her hate I remembered
Precisely the reason why we came

Give me drink or give me drugs Mama
Cause I can't live sober with you

Come out with the moon at set
It feels good to live alive, alone
When you're under the ancient script
We got a big old plan to see the green in the earth
From the hills that are shaped by the mounds of the dirt
I'm patiently awaiting for something bright to appear
And if it don't or it can't, it's a shame
But not nearly as shameful as I declare
Myself to be as this minute of this year
I wish it weren't true
But I love you my dear
Give me a drink or a drug
I just can't live sober with you

Well, the harvest soon will crumble
The earth will start to rumble
What you believe will become more jumbled
And your earthly possessions will tumble
Into the depths of Gods frustration
It's a cataclysmic vacation
Warm truth
Until then, here's what I ask of you

Give me drink or give me drugs mama
Because I can't live sober with you
