Col Lyrics by Hack The Mainframe

Disorders of Consciousness

2017

I used to work with a guy name Col
He was a big fan of alcohol;
He would drink beer all the time
By midday he would have polished off
A six pack and more by knocking off
Then he'd drink on late into the night

At parties he'd always dance and sing
Spreading cheer and celebrating
Life of the party that was his thing
Always happy hour, let the bell ring!

Col's still standing at the bar
Drinking beer, having a laugh
Yeah, Col's still standing at the bar
Year after year, filling his glass

One day he went to an appointment
The doctor told him that the ointment
Was killing him before his time
Like Bob he had to quit the booze
Conflicted he couldn't choose
Between a good time and saving his life

Would life without beer feel empty?
That cold slap of reality
Was he capable of sobriety?
Or would he drink himself to eternity?

Col's still standing at the bar
Drinking beer, having a laugh
Yeah, Col's still standing at the bar
Year after year, filling his glass

He tried, he really did...
Any addict will tell you their poison's fucking hard to quit
He tried, he really did...
But the only thing that stopped the shakes was to have another drink!

Col's still standing at the bar
Drinking beer, having a laugh
Yeah, Col's still standing at the bar
Year after year, filling his glass

He had a wife and two beautiful girls
They loved their father, he was their whole world
I saw them at his funeral
Addiction can be so cruel...

Col's still standing at the bar
Drinking beer, having a laugh
Yeah, Col's still standing at the bar
Spreading cheer, filling his glass
