Partying Is Such Sweet Sorrow

Partying Is Such Sweet Sorrow - Every Time I Die

At the bottom of the first drink

I found my nerve

At the bottom of the next one

I met my girl

At the bottom of the third drink

I found the fourth

And at the bottom of that one

Was a Trojan horse

That carried in demons

Who brought their brides

And they tempted darkness

Where I lost my mind

Well the fifth drink found it

And carried it home where my girl was waiting

One foot out the door

Another night spent gathering dust

Mug shots of a marble bust

Ruination leaves the lantern lit

So I know where the good lovin' is

I used to be a goddamn saint

I said my prayers and I handled snakes

Until the road introduced me to sin

I only shook hands with drink

But he had his friends with him

I cursed the day we raised out glass

Up like a bridge to let the devil pass

Cause he ain't ever left this town

And only beaten and unborn are living with him now

I used to be a holy man

Who'd put an onion in a beggar's hand

But now I'd rather not believe

How could a man I've never met be so cruel to me

At least I'm in good company

At least I'm in good company

I'll drink to that

I'll drink to that

Dash the cup

Fifteen years has been long enough

Put the child in an unmarked grave

And burn the black book page by page

Go alone there is your road

For once I'm awake and I will not serve madness

For once I'm awake and I will not serve madness

Cause I am not the company I keep

I am not the company I keep

I am not the company I keep

I am not the company I keep

Dash the cup

Fifteen years has been long enough

Put the child in an unmarked grave

And burn the black book page by page
