Drink!

I'll take back my piñata, it's wasted on you
Just spinning that pool cue all over the room
And give back the blindfold that's under your shoe
 
Let's drink, drink, this town is so great
Drink, drink, 'cause it's never to late
To drink, drink to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with "buried alive"?
What words rhyme with "buried alive"?
 
You could be a float for the fourth of July
Based on your theme of wallflowers grown wild
Look through your peephole, you've won every prize
 
Drink, drink, this town is so great
Drink, drink, 'cause it's never to late
To drink, drink to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with "buried alive"?
What words rhyme with "buried alive"?
 
In your monkey suit on a cigarette break
The lunchtime crowd, they won't even blink
But you'd be sad if they did
But you'll be sad
 
Let's drink, drink, this town is so great
Drink, drink, 'cause it's never to late
To drink, drink to no big surprise
But what words rhyme with "buried alive"?
What words rhyme with "buried alive"?


Quoth the Johns:

This song is the voice of one boozer pleading with another to keep their scene together.
