Bottle lyrics

A stinking sun burned me awake,
Through the shattered windowpane,
I recalled through the eyes of claret red,
He had taken me again.
And the hair of the dog revives me,
But I find it hard to swallow,
It`s a marriage made in heaven between me and the bottle.

A thousand words fell from a hand,
And the room just spins,
This sodden mattress holds my heart,
And it cradles my regrets.
I read it once again,
For he knows that I`ll not follow.
It`s a marriage of convenience between me and the bottle.

Now the king of alcohol comes back,
With the traffic`s mournful cry.
And he swaggers, drunk and skinful,
Through my throat all parched and dry.
And if I should die before I wake,
I pray the lord my soul to take.
Then I could rest,
And never wake again in sorrow.
It`s a marriage on the rocks between me and the bottle
