Barfly Lyrics
Whisky - need a shot to stop the quiverI've been here for days or minutesWhere is here? I couldn't tellSomewhere in the outer limitsPretty close, I guess, to HellHazy names and placesFoggy memoryHelp me - Mister,can you spare a dollar?Need a drink before I start to hollerSeedy bars is where I hang outCrawling up the Strip all nightDodging tabs and seeking spendersPassing out or starting fightsIt's a way of livingIn the underworld(Chorus) Close to the edge - BarflyReady to fallWalking the ledge - BarflyNothing or allPlaying your part - BarflySearching... BarflyBarrooms - stench of beer,the smell of losersLowlifes -aging whores and senile boozersWe're a family of zombiesBut a family nonethelessGotta hang on to each otherWhen your life's a filthy messFighting for survivalFighting loneliness(Chorus)(Solo: Axel)Way out - got a choice,I'm not a dumb oneCreate - write a book and be a someoneMemoirs very popularIn those intellectual circlesBarfly turns to cult - scene startSleaze can be attractiveViewed from safer shores(Chorus)(Solo: Andy)Close to the edge - BarflyReady to fallNothing or all - BarflySearching... Barfly
