Alcohol Lyrics by Sabertooth Swing

Extinct Possibilities

2018

[Verse 1]
Here is a story about a sinner
Who used to be a winner who enjoyed a life of prominence and position
But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements
And his crazy wife's fanatical ambition
They turned him to the booze
And he got mixed up with a floosie
Who led him on a life of indecision
The floosie made him spend his dough
She left him lying on Skid Row
A drunken mess in some Salvation Army Mission

[Chorus]
It's such a shame
Oh demon alcohol
Sad memories I can’t recall
Who’d thought that I would say
Damn it all and blow it all
Oh demon alcohol
Memories I can’t recall
Who’d thought that I would fall a slave to demon alcohol

[Verse 2]
Barley wine pink gin
He'll drink anything
Port, Pernod or tequila
Rum, scotch, vodka on the rocks
As long as all his troubles disappeared
But he messed up his life when he beat up his wife
And the floosie's gone and found another sucker
She's gonna turn him on to drink
She's gonna lead him to the brink
And when his money's gone
She'll leave him in the gutter

[Chorus]
It's such a shame
Oh demon alcohol
Sad memories I can’t recall
Who’d thought that I would say
Damn it all and blow it all
Oh demon alcohol
Sad memories I cannot recall
Who’d thought that I would fall a slave to demon alcohol
