lyrics

Happy Hour

I mix my metaphors with whiskey
I get up when the sun goes down
I don't believe anybody will miss me
When I leave this town

Mat I pay for my sins in installments?
Sell the keys but save the ring
In the end everything comes to depend
On a few inessential things

May I address you informally?
Lay guarded speech aside
I see an emptiness before me
And a tangled mess behind

And I'm glad you don't recognize me
From the night I saved the day
May all we say be washed away
In tomorrow morning's rain

Now it's happy hour
There's no future there's no past
It's happy hour
It'll never last

Now I'm trying to put in writing
What's pressing on my heart
You may experience a brief silence
Before the music starts

'Twas there I was forgiven
I closed my eyes and I could see
'Twas there I swear the sky became
A skylarks dream

And I found this song on the sidewalk
It was written in the street
By some guy you've never heard of
From the Nineteen-Seventies

And time is stripped of its ornaments
And the puppets lie limp on their strings
In the end everything comes to depend
On a few inessential things

Now it's happy hour
There's no future there's no past
It's happy hour
It'll never last
