lyrics
I take a shot in the dark
Not quite as sharp as the last
One more can't leave too much of a mark
Who's counting, nobody asked
Hello, what's your name? Here's one of mine
I'll never see you again
Cast of a thousand, move down the line
But all of them my "best friends"
Well what do I have to lose?
Some tired pride, some useless blues?
Another night for the collection
Will I remember at all?
Head full of contradiction and doubt
Fetish for dread and despair
Two pints is all it takes to drown out
Why would I ever stop there?
Unfiltered poison poise that's on loan
He walks and talks just like me
Which one is the one I can own
And which one's my enemy?
Well what do I have to lose?
Some tired pride, some useless blues?
Another night for the collection
Will I remember at all?
Lit up, lights out
Lit up, lights out
Lit up, lights out
Lit up, lights out
Not quite as sharp as the last
One more can't leave too much of a mark
Who's counting, nobody asked
Hello, what's your name? Here's one of mine
I'll never see you again
Cast of a thousand, move down the line
But all of them my "best friends"
Well what do I have to lose?
Some tired pride, some useless blues?
Another night for the collection
Will I remember at all?
Head full of contradiction and doubt
Fetish for dread and despair
Two pints is all it takes to drown out
Why would I ever stop there?
Unfiltered poison poise that's on loan
He walks and talks just like me
Which one is the one I can own
And which one's my enemy?
Well what do I have to lose?
Some tired pride, some useless blues?
Another night for the collection
Will I remember at all?
Lit up, lights out
Lit up, lights out
Lit up, lights out
Lit up, lights out
