All You See is a drunkard on the skew Hand full of bourbon, A head void of thought With scent that reeks of a night good for naught All I see is a memory A ghost of what used to be Of a man of most charming disposition And most dreaded of devils It has made him empty Has caved him whole Left him to patch himself up with ***** and whiskey All I see is a friend long forgotten Of a man long gone Replaced with empty bottles and a head full of cotton I turn and look at the man on the skew He looks back but does not see His eyes an unfocus void not upon me I turn And I leave All I see is a drunkard on the skew

Drunkard on the Skew
All You See is a drunkard on the skew Hand full of bourbon, A head void of thought With scent that reeks of a night good for naught All I see is a memory A ghost of what used to be Of a man of most charming disposition And most dreaded of devils It has made him empty Has caved him whole Left him to patch himself up with ***** and whiskey All I see is a friend long forgotten Of a man long gone Replaced with empty bottles and a head full of cotton I turn and look at the man on the skew He looks back but does not see His eyes an unfocus void not upon me I turn And I leave All I see is a drunkard on the skew
