lyrics

Whiskey on the bar, and you underground
It's been slow since you were laid low
So I'll have another round
I'd ask you how you felt
but you can't make a sound
Whiskey on the bar, and you underground

Look at that, a Siamese cat, running round my feet
He looks at me so hopefully
that I'll give him something to eat
I ain't fed myself there, puss
For about a week
Look at that, a Siamese cat, running 'round my feet.

When you spend half your life with one thing on your mind
Then you're done, the last race run
you're left with lots of time.
So I'm hitched to this bar stool
drinking whiskey, beer and wine
When you spend half your life with one thing on your mind

I can still see your face
as your life poured out
The savage tear in your breast
My parting gift to you
When your bones were lowered down
My dreams when down there too

Whiskey on the bar and you underground
Life is slow since I laid you low
So I'll have another round
I'd ask you how you felt about it
But we'd both agree
With you down there, and me up here
you feel a lot like me.
