I joke I make a great punch,
but if you knew me you'd have a hunch
something is very wrong,
when I am very gone.
I begin sinking in my chair
my emotions are very bare
I feel my heartbeat.
This liquid courage is a cheat
the after taste is not very sweet,
I drank a glass, or two
it's all gone a bit askew.
This liquid courage is a cheat
I still don't feel complete
I drank a glass, or two
maybe I don't have a clue.
I just wanted to talk without thinking
I didn't want to feel like I was sinking
everyone else in the room seems fine
maybe I should just grow a spine
but it's not even nine and my blood is half wine.
I think I'm drowning,
why is everyone around me frowning?
This liquid courage is a cheat
I just wanted to feel upbeat
maybe if I reapply my lipstick- wait, I'm going to be sick
This liquid courage is a cheat
it leaves you downbeat,
you need to find your own two feet
Get up the chair, brush your hair
and then everyone there will become aware.
Don't worry about what to wear,
because they'll all stare.
Be bare and share, you don't need this much liquid courage
but one small glass I won't discourage.
