Bright Eyes — Well Whiskey

[Verse 1] 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 are 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 is a secret like the soul of a whore That if you want to have fun you'll just have to ignore Now let my troubles solve themselves I used to get involved but I'm just no help But tonight let's pretend that we are just like we were Let me stay until the morning; I will sleep on the floor [Chorus 1] And we can talk in circles, no dollar figures Just what is owed or paid And you can make predictions I know you see the future and I agree And we agree tonight's not happening [Verse 2] When I got dry as a desert I got mean I was as lonely and empty as a canteen With no anesthetic you are bound to be sore But tonight I am drinking all peaceful and warm And just when I got fed up with that 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 just like I feel tonight But 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 door [Chorus 2] So we can talk in circles around a dirty mirror Night trickles down our throats And we could make a timeline to last our whole lives But we don't know-- But no one knows what's further up the road Just wait and see, just wait and see All in time, all in time
