Drinking Song/Good Night Irene

Drinking Song/Good Night Irene - Moxy Fruvous

And the band played on

As the helicopters whirred

Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn

My senses finally blurred

He was a rock

To the end

A solid reminder

Couldn't deny a friend

We lived in the noise and the sweet amber poison

Peekin' up the skirt of the end

And we'd drink

Two gnarly dudes and some records

Much like plates of black food

We filled up our faces saw some far places

Stood on the roof in the nude

And the band played on

As the helicopters whirred

Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn

My senses finally blurred

Between poles

He said we're like cows in the grass

Brushing off flies

Chaise lounging around standing up falling down

Till we no longer opened our eyes

And we'd drink

Ever notice how drinking's like war

Cup o' troops o'er the gums

To the end of our health a campaign 'gainst myself

Armed with bourbons and scotches and rums

And the band played on

As the helicopters whirred

Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn

My senses finally blurred

Think of bombs

We're poised on the edge of disaster

Whether it's right or it's wrong

We opened the window

Played some nintendo

Sang a few bars of some pretty old song

Irene goodnight

Irene goodnight

Goodnight Irene

Goodnight Irene

I'll see you

In my dreams

Oh to dream

Those impotent bones of extinction

Flying graceful and free

None but the best 'cause the man cannot rest

Till he's finally beaten his me

And the band played on

As the helicopters whirred

Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn

My senses finally blurred

Till the end

He passed out

On the sundeck that morning

Quietly saying goodbye

But I was so hammered I sputtered and stammered

Told him he couldn't just die

He was a rock

Went straight for his own armageddon

Face froze in a grin

Ambulance flyin' in

I never drank again

Can't really call that a loss or a win

And the band played on

As the helicopters whirred

Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn

My senses finally

Blurred
