Hundred Proof Love Lyrics - Singles - Jerusalem Slim

It's happy hour, but no one's laughing 

Such a sobering scene 

This nightmare's just a stale runnin' dream 

Intoxicating me 

Beauty is only skin deep 

So let's get under the skin 

Liquor is quicker but truth of the matter 

Is slowly wearing thin 

Been giving so much lately 

Compassion fatigue 

No drinking to forget 

Is gonna rescue me 

One hundred proof love 

I need a hundred proof love 

Is it hell or high water rolling over me 

I could drown in my misery 

One hundred proof love 

Pour me the hundred proof love 

And i chase my demons down off the rocks 

'cos i'm hanging on and on 

Like a full time saint, a visionary 

I can shock right through the jive 

No method missionary 

Could pull the wool over my eyes 

Radical departure 

From the way that you add vice 

To the vigilante vanguard of the artificial life 

Been fighting so much lately 

The war of nerves 

It's not about morality 

It's how you take the curves 

One hundred proof love 

It takes a hundred proof love 

Is it hell or high water rolling over me 

I could drown in my misery 

One hundred proof love 

Straight up the hundred proof love 

I save my strenght for the hardest knocks 

'cause there's no surrender 

No conditions, hurting for hundred proof love 

Been giving so much lately 

Compassion fatigue 

No drinking to forget 

will ever rescue me, no 

One hundred proof love 

Find me a hundred proof love 

Is it hell or high water rolling over me 

I could drown in my misery 

One hundred proof love 

Gimme a hundred proof love 

I chase my demons down off the rocks 

'cos there is no common touch 

Without a hundred proof love
