Well Whiskey Lyrics - Bright Eyes

I get my whiskey from a well, except on holidays 

Then it's the top shelf 

But tonight I don't mind if I spend a little more 

Cause you're a tolerant woman and the world is at war 

I know you witnessed my decline 

You used to push back the darkness like a floodlight 

But tonight that's a secret, like the soul of a whore 

That if you want to have fun you'll just have to ignore 

Now I let my troubles solve themselves 

I used to get involved, but I'm just no help 

But tonight let's pretend that we're just like we were 

Let me stay until the morning, I will sleep on the floor 

We can talk in circles, no dollar figures 

Just what is owed or paid. We can make predictions 

I know you see the future and I agree 

We agree, tonight's not happening 

When I got dry as a desert, I got mean 

I was lonely and empty as a canteen 

With no anesthetic you're found to be sore 

But tonight I am drinking, all peaceful and warm 

And just when I got fed up with the grey sky 

The sun came out of nowhere like a bar fight 

And it knocked out the wind and it bruised me with light 

and I felt grateful for living like I feel tonight 

Well, I know you feel safer in a group 

Where you could be anyone or they could be you 

But tonight, we'll take risks that you can afford 

You still have bars on your windows and a hole in your doo 

We can talk in circles around the dirty mirrors 

Night trickles down our throats 

And we can make a time line to last our whole lives 

But we don't know, no one knows 

What's further up the road 

Just wait and see 

All in time
