Barfly Lyrics - Charmer - Aimee Mann

Spent my nights in a sleeping bag smelling kerosene 

thinking fog and sand 

was gonna keep me clean 

feeding all the bluejays at the wrong address 

where they went instead 

I could only guess 

Tell the barfly 

who runs this town 

you wont get high 

youll just get down 

tell the barfly 

its on his dime 

you wont get high 

so do the time 

Took a breath full of iodine and I overdosed 

and the tide crept high 

like a watery ghost 

and no one needs your kind 

of a dope sick clown 

you can always find 

sitting one seat down 

Tell the barfly 

who rolls the dice 

your numbers up 

so roll it twice 

tell the barfly 

its on his dime 

you wont get high 

so do the time 

Honey, Im not the one whos of use to you now 

I get an hours sleep at night 

and I cant see how 

you deserve all the mess that even guilt wont allow 

Tell the barfly 

who runs this town 

you wont get high 

youll just get down 

tell the barfly 

its on his dime 

you wont get high 

so do the time
