(V1) Hello, Sir Bartender, it’s a long Saturday night,
My angel tonight lies beyond the white, gold, and glass,
And though I fear it’s dangerous I need a drink in this place…
(C1) He said my
Brother! What do you feel? You’re above and beyond all these people you see?
You ain’t that easy, nor that shallow indeed! You just rest your worried mind as my story speaks…
(V2) Start with the two in the corner, they’ll be hammered and nailed by the end of the night,
The portly old gentlemen will entertain his friends tonight,
The party of five will dance their cares away, and in the morning be ruled by secrecy,
“Well my it seems quite fun to play, but conscience will stain your insensitive ways…”
(C2) Well, my
Brother! What do you seek? To break the windows that confine the masses every week?
Because I am, I am their upper hand. The only way to win is to play with the house.
Maybe I am, am I a shallow man, because I oversee they all follow the feed,
But oh! Everyone respects the answer man.
(B) When you can’t ask yourself, those questions, and lines have, all blurred,
You’re in no state of mind, to try, try and resist the, upper hand…
(C3) But oh! Do you really think? You can beat the hand of me just by pouring a drink?
I ain’t that easy, nor that shallow indeed,
you just rest your wayward mind as my conviction speaks:
You’re just a swagger, with the power to stagger,
your aplomb can only reach the tap you’re leaning on. (2x)
You’re just a swagger, with the power to stagger,
your aplomb can barely reach the tap you rely on,
And one day, you will meet a man, who takes away your upper hand and it stops.
