Barstool Blues Lyrics - Soul Asylum

Barstool Blues 

If I could hold on 

to just one thought 

For long enough to know 

Why my mind is moving so fast 

And the conversation is slow. 

Burn off all the fog 

And let the sun 

through to the snow 

Let me see your face again 

Before I have to go. 

I have seen you in the movies 

And in those magazines at night 

I saw you on the barstool when 

You held that glass so tight. 

And I saw you in my nightmares 

But I'll see you in my dreams 

And I might live a thousand years 

Before I know what that means. 

Once there was a friend of mine 

Who died a thousand deaths 

His life was filled with parasites 

And countless idle threats. 

He trusted in a woman 

And on her he made his bets 

Once there was a friend of mine 

Who died a thousand deaths.
