Barfly Lyrics - Singles - Tankard

D.T. empty stare and body shiver 

Whisky - need a shot to stop the quiver 

I've been here for days or minutes 

Where is here? I couldn't tell 

Somewhere in the outer limits 

Pretty close, I guess, to Hell 

Hazy names and places 

Foggy memory 

Help me - Mister, can you spare a dollar? 

Need a drink before I start to holler 

Seedy bars is where I hang out 

Crawling up the Strip all night 

Dodging tabs and seeking spenders 

Passing out or starting fights 

It's a way of living 

In the underworld 

Close to the edge - Barfly 

Ready to fall 

Walking the ledge - Barfly 

Nothing or all 

Playing your part - Barfly 

Searching... Barfly 

Barrooms - stench of beer, the smell of losers 

Lowlifes - aging whores and senile boozers 

We're a family of zombies 

But a family nonetheless 

Gotta hang on to each other 

When your life's a filthy mess 

Fighting for survival 

Fighting loneliness 

Way out - got a choice, I'm not a dumb one 

Create - write a book and be a someone 

Memoirs very popular 

In those intellectual circles 

Barfly turns to cult - scene start 

Sleaze can be attractive 

Viewed from safer shores
