One drink of whisky, one drink of gin

One drink of vodka and I told my friends

Things don't seem quite like they used to

As reality leaves, so does the blues



One toke of reefer, a little cocaine

One shot of morphine and things begin to change

Things don't seem quite like they used to

As reality leaves, so does the blues



Up around here, back down again

I've been up on top, don't bother, my friend

Things don't seem quite like they used to

As reality leaves, so does the blues
