[Intro]

One, two

One, two, three, fourth!

I know all you motherfuckers know this one

[Verse 1]

We live in a world where forever's never part of the deal

And I'm gonna comfort you at night cause I know how you feel

We can't walk through that door again and say "thank god I'm home"

We're distant but we'll stay up all night talkin'

About how we hate sleeping alone

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm gonna take some dental floss and sew my damn mouth shut

If my head needed bashing in I never would have said this much

I'm sorry if I said too much

Well I forgot how this night ends, not bad

But I know how it begins, it starts with you and me

Cause don't it always?

[Chorus]

And you taste like gin and I taste like cigarеttes

And we'll both be homе this time tomorrow, Oh-woah

So give me a shot to compliment this drag

Give me a shot and you won't be disappointed, Oh-woah

[Verse 2]

We live in a world where forever's never part of the deal

And you'll never write another song cause you're too scared to feel

Your lover's disapproval or your father's neglect

The warm air from the words I breathe, this chilly night, or self-respect

[Chorus]

I'm gonna take my bass guitar and smash open your head

And dig through all the bottled up emotions laying them across my bed

Then I'll put them into words so your band can have a new song

[Bridge]

It's mattress, squire, sacrificed

I thought I saw it in your eyes

Pursued it through your body all night

But found no way to make a love song about me

But I've got one for you, I hope that's okay?

And it goes like

[Chorus]

You taste like gin and I taste like cigarettes

And we'll both be home this time tomorrow

So give me a shot to compliment this drag

Give me a shot and you won't be disappointed

[Post-Chorus]

Everybody now:

You taste like gin and an angel flicked her cigarette

While I was smoking mine outside

And she said she'd answer my prayers

But I could only think to wish for you

And she said you're not the one for me but that's no surprise, no surprise

Cause I'm only in love with everything, yeah

And you think that you're nothing, that you're nothing, Oh-oh
