I'll Drink To That

(album: More Noise And Other Disturbances - 1992)

Standing stiff on a cliff and I'm not gonna leap
Checked out the water, but it's much too deep
No going back there's no turning around
So I'll stay here and wait, God, I hope that I'm found

My, my, my, my, my, my, my thoughts were in knots, but I couldn't get to sleep
Went up to the attic to see what to keep
Threw out the useless and now it's bone dry
But I still couldn't die and couldn't figure out why

No way, no how
No what, what now?

The place is packed, I needed that
The bottles cracked, I'm glad for that
A good night's rest? Forget about that
I feel alive in this dive, so I'll drink to that
The place is packed, I needed that
The bottles cracked, I'm glad for that
A good night's rest? Forget about that
I feel alive in this dive, so I'll drink to that

The attic was empty and my eyes were shut
I had to do something, but I didn't know what
The darkness was nice, but it wasn't enough
The clock wasn't stopping so I had to get tough

Get tough, get up
Get out, get tough!

The place is packed, I needed that
The bottles cracked, I'm glad for that
A good night's rest? Forget about that
I feel alive in this dive, so I'll drink to that
The place is packed, I needed that
The bottles cracked, I'm glad for that
A good night's rest? Forget about that
I feel alive in this dive, so I'll drink to that

Got up, got out, and found out it was raining
The car lived then died, but I wasn't complaining
Hell bent for action and it had to be out there
I walked then I ran, hoping something was somewhere
Before long, it didn't take long
This place came along and I ended up here

The place is packed, I needed that
The bottles cracked, I'm glad for that
A good night's rest? Forget about that
I feel alive in this dive, so I'll drink to that
The place is packed, I needed that
The bottles cracked, I'm glad for that
A good night's rest? Forget about that
I feel alive in this dive, so I'll drink to that
