Hydrocodone Wings

Soon you won’t feel so unloved

Carl said to me then took out a bag full of drugs

What’s that you got dancin’ in the palm of your hand?
Oh this, it’s just the stuff that dreams are made of

So into the night we go sailin' on hydrocodone wings

We’re planning on laughing at every face that we meet

With unrequited love and balls wound lust-tight

Only a fool would look for God at such an hour of the night

The Nach Bar’s quite lame, there’s no one around

Except for some hipsters and a few half-drunken clowns

but then the pills start to sink in and I get to thinkin’

this night ain’t half-bad, fact it’s the best I’ve ever had

Now the drugs start to fade, I’m back in my old funk

I’m feelin’ as drained as the beers I just drunk

We go to Steak and Shake with the twilight still gleamin’

And the high we were just on has lost all of its meaning

Dreams of youth spun on a roulette wheel

Made out of beer cans and a sad, lonesome song

While God was sleeping, we stole the crown off his head

And we had us some fun ‘till he took it back again

I awake in the morning feelin’ as lonely as ever

Carl is hovering over my bed

What we do now, I ask, that the moment is gone

And he says we go out and chase it all over again
