Lou Reed — Underneath the Bottle

[Verse 1] Ooohhh-wheee, look at me Looking for some sympathy It's the same old story Of a man and his search for glory And he found it, there underneath the bottle [Verse 2] Things are never good, things go from bad to weird Hey gimme another scotch with my beer I'm sad to say I feel the same today as I always do Gimme a drink to relax me [Verse 3] Ooohhh-wheee, liquor set me free I can't do no work, the shake's inside me Ahhh, shucks I got the lousiest luck, I'm sick of this Underneath the bottle [Verse 4] Seven days make a week, on two of them I sleep I can't remember what the heck I was doing I got bruises on my leg From I can't remember when I fell down some stairs, I was lyin' underneath the bottle [Verse 5] Ooohhh-wheee, son of a B You get so down, you can't get any lower So long world, you play too rough And it's getting me all mixed up I lost my pride and it's hiddin' there underneath the bottle
