you come home everydaylookin' like a train's had its way 
with you
not much is the same
but the lethal dose of wish you were here
is still there
hold your liquor
while the world goes from sick to sicker
you best get quicker on the draw
when you drown out the soul
there's a simple case of getting away with it
and you still pay the toll
a bonus prize of late in the game
(what a shame)
then I hold my liquor
as the sand sinks quicker and quicker
and the time's still ticking as we speak
hold your liquor
before the days rate high on the richter
watch the roads get slicker in the rain
money may buy you happiness
inspiration won't pay the bills
drain those spirits
i don't want to hear 'em spill
hold your liquor
while the world goes from sick to sicker
you best get quicker as we speak
hold your liquor
because the lights are just starting to flicker
looks like you're saved in the nick of time
