Go Leave Lyrics by Roaring Jack

The Cat Among the Pigeons

0

I tried to remember your face in the light
As you moved to the beat of the band
But the smoke and the beer made it all too unclear
So I ordered another and drank

Ah whiskey’s the devil and love is the curse
When you’re battered and beaten and down
And you can’t find your feet and your head hits the street
And you lie there dreaming out loud
So go, leave, make what you can of your life
As you travel the road
With my feet planted fast I’ll forget that dark past
And stumble back into the world

There’s a noose for the hangman, a rose for the grave
And a pint to forget all you can
You curse and swear to the wretched night air
And you wake up in anger and shame

Ah whiskey’s the devil and love is the curse
When you’re battered and beaten and down
And you fight till you lose and you can’t even choose
How you’ll feel when you’re picked off the ground

The streets are empty, your money’s all spent
So you gather what’s left of your pride
You walk all alone in the direction of home
And you end up sleeping outside

Ah whiskey’s the devil and love is the curse
When you’re battered and beaten and down
And you fight till you lose and you can’t even choose
How you’ll feel when you’re picked off the ground
