He walked away so I turned to gin I said to the bottle "do you think we can win?" Gin said "sure we can put up a fight" So I downed it and drifted in to the night Too many memories all in a blur I tried to talk to him bit it's all a slur He told me I need to get a grip on reality Well I tried that once and it ended in fatality Too many drinks and too many men I can't remember the names of any of them I'll do anything to keep my memory blank To forget just how low I've sank In my dreams I'm back on stage singing the blues But instead I'm in the bar waiting to be used Sitting in the gutter looking at the stars Will make you feel useless whoever you are
