I just finished putting my seventh drink away
A week now since her death and a drink for every day
Soon it will be fifty, I won't be worrying about ulcersNo longer do I dream and my mind is far away
I'm thinking like an animal, almost unconsciously
Soon I'll be nocturnal and knocking over your garbageAnd I'll walk and I'll find solace
And the sun will shine upon me
Like a mother keep me warm
And my pulse goesHut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut
Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hutI see hallucinations of figures like yourself
I feel like I'm on acid and you're alive and well
Hope you get well soon wait 'til you see your new grandsonAnd we'll walk and we'll part in a nice way
Because I don't think I was ready
When you left so suddenlyAnd if I could just set this date up
It would out my mind at ease
To say the things I had failed to say
And my pulse wouldHut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut
Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hutDirty water, dirty water, dirty water
(Drink it all down, smell the surprise)
Dirty water, dirty water, dirty water
(Drink it all down, smell the surprise)Drink it all down, smell the surprise
(Dirty water, dirty water, dirty water)
Drink it all down, smell the surpriseI just finished putting my fiftieth drink away
I think, I've been patient and waiting for this day
I'll have another before I go into the partyI think, I've been patient in waiting for this day
After putting my fiftieth drink away
Forget the girl and take the drink like a real manAnd I walked and I found solace
And the sun it shined upon me
Like a mother kept me warmAnd I walked and I found solace
And the sun it shined upon me
Like a mother kept me warm
And my pulse goesHut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut
Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut
Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hutAnd the sun it shined upon me
Like a mother kept me warm
The sun it shined upon me
Like a mother kept me warmThe sun it shined upon me
Like a mother kept me warm
And the sun it shined upon me
Like a mother kept me warm
