PASS THAT BOTTLE DOWN
written by john common

I'm the one behind the sash
fishing letters from the trash
christ I need another glass
pass that bottle down

rushing through the still of night
whispering by candle light
I'll find you with my second sight
pass that bottle down

I'm not jealous
I'm just on a little trip
sick

a bed of nails this bed I've made
a thinly veiled, polite charade
another homeless boy you've saved
pass that bottle down

oh I've sketched you with my naked eye
I've written poems upon the sky
I've told a thousand little lies
pass that bottle down

cloth me in a suit of red
drain the nightmares from my head
bury me down with the dead
just pass that bottle down

I'm not jealous
I'm just on a little trip
sick

I'm just sick
I'm just sick
I'm just sick
I'm just sick
pass that bottle
pass that bottle
pass that bottle down
pass that bottle
