Pyramid Of Cans

(album: Southern Rain - 1980)

I drink from cans and stack 'em in a pyramid so high
As a monument to how I feel then she told me goodbye
I like my friends around me but they all understand
Why I keep her memory buried beneath the pyramid of cans

The power of the pyramid I don't understand
It's a mystery that gets bigger with every empty can
I stack them high and watch them fall like a castle in the sand
Then I drink one more and start another pyramid of cans

We used to come here often and the band would play our song
Now I wonder if they wonder why I come in alone
'Cause lately I come in here nightly they think I'm their biggest fan
But the power pulling me in here is the pyramid of cans
Then I drink one more and start another pyramid of cans
