DROWNING IN DEBT
The future has been lost
You won't last six months by dreaming
Life has it's cost
I've been waiting for that ship to come in
With a cargo of Whisky and Gin
Ol' Auntie Esther is counting on me
I must accomplish my delivery
DROWNING IN DEBT
The future has been lost
You won't last six months by dreaming
Life has it's cost
Alexander is a man of his word
He's not troubled by the rumor he's heard
And as for me I like to juggle the facts
I need a proxy for what my nature lacks
Watchdogs barking at the wind.
8 hours for work 8 hours for sleep
Uncle Sam, where have you been?
12 nights of WHISKY and CHRISTMAS SIN
Mary Newton serves the men at at the bar
She's the daughter of a turncoat jack-tar
I might be happy if I ran off to sea
But then again I'll just leave things as they be
DROWNING IN DEBT
The future has been lost
You won't last six months by dreaming
Life has it's cost
DROWNING IN DEBT
The future has been lost
You won't last six months by dreaming
Life has it's cost
