White Hassle - Vodka Talking

It was the vodka talking and the gin listening
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening

I was sitting around writing amazing lyrics the other day
When i was struck down dumb by your beautiful face
I switched to poetry and i went from prose
I don't know all the words, i don't know how it does
Did you do it or did you just talk about it?

It was the vodka talking and the gin listening
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening

On the other side of the street
On the same side of the family
On both sides of the world
It's just nice to hear a voice on the other end of the line
I beliеve in change and constancy at the samе time
Well, if you're fat then who's thin?
It's bad when you can't say it's all good
There's the door, propped open with a stick
You use the door, i'll use the stick

It was the vodka talking and the gin listening
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening

What?
It was the telephone that just rang like a bad joke, but i didn't get it
Refresh my memory, i need a refill
Don't rain on my ticker-tape parade
Eventually this moment will fade
All of you will fade
Loneliness on the left, regret on the right
I just go straight through the red light
Twentysomething and counting
You're at the foot of the mountain
You don't know how to count or how to make it over the hill
If you want don't want to count it, then somebody else will
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening

Well, bad novels - you read them, you need them
Bless my soul!
We need more guitars in the monitor and more bass and more vocal
You know, if you die about a dime, you'll cry about a nickel
Is this the beginning or is this the end?
You said you'd take me for a ride, i said yes, because i needed one
I didn't know it was gonna be a drag
Let me just put it this way: wait a minute! wait a minute! wait a minute!
Never trust a person who says "trust me"

It was the vodka talking and the gin listening
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening

Check, one two
Check, one two
Check, one two
Day in and day out
The only thing that i'm not sick of is your body
You sound like a broken cd
At first, they said cds wouldn't skip
But you sound like a broken cd
You sound like a broken cd
Broken cd, cd, cd, cd, cd, cd, cd
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening

Well, this just in, this just in - but i digress
I'd like to stop talking about myself and get dressed
The hobo got up to shield his eyes
I've set you free to live that party life
You and your trophy husband and me and my wife
I haven't been this jealous since 1945
The days grow short and the nightclubs are long
Words cannot express that i'm getting restless
Look at me now, i'm on a gunship of metal
The ocean is an emotional ghetto

It was the vodka talking and the gin listening
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening

There was no telling how much money was spent on the chandelier
Guests poured in from the rafters like rain into goblets by the dozen
We were frozen like fear, like we always were
And i was hung up in the clothesline, stranded
Our maid refused and the nurse resigned
So my wounds went undressed and my heart was in the lobby
By the broken-down elevator and the fern
And the ape wheezed; he had just got asthma
Which i feared i was catching
She, in all her loveliness, came down directly
And i was as bashful as ever
This time it was not an act, i adored her
And when the sun finally did set, though, it bored her
You know what she said? you know what she said?
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening
It was the vodka talking and the gin listening
