Dirty Beer - Air This Side of Caution

Dirty Beer Lyrics

Slowly stir and sip your tea
Speak so pointedly
On the uselessness of luxury
And then pretend that you care about me
All the time you sold
Has left you so cold
And your money has made you old
What will you buy now?
Your back is bare
You have nothing to share
And all the ones you'd compare
What will you do now?
Believe none of what you hear
Negotiate through your tears
So drunk on dirty beer
Is your throat cloudy or clear?

All the blood you sold
Has left you so cold
As your tongue unfolds
What will you say now?
And your back is bare
Burning under the sun's hot glare
All the ones you would tear
What will you wear now?
The love you drenched in fear
Will soon leave you alone
Spill your dirty beer
And soak me to the bone
Soak me to the bone
Soak me to the bone
Soak me to the bone
I guess we're both better off alone
