With a bottle in your hand

Try and quench the thirst of a drowning man

How do you stand? 

On a pair of legs like rubber bands

You see you really are not free

Step aside from foolish pride

Build yourself a bridge to the other side



Don't come home from drinking 

With heartache on your mind

And don't say you've been thinking 

About us this time

Don't come here with roses 

And breath that I can see

Expecting me to be thinking about anyone but me



Another aspirin down the chute

Another meatball flying through the hoop

I see the plan

Saving up your strength

To be the ham

You see, you really are not free

Step aside from foolish pride

Build yourself a bridge to the other side
