[Verse 1]

I'm counting fingers now

Courting aristocrats

I'm currying favours now

Trusting the bureaucrats

[Chorus]

Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?

A little bit higher now

Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?

'Cause I can't get out of this house

[Verse 2]

I'm searching figures now

Dreading a second wave

I'm pouring glasses down

Digging a subtle grave

[Chorus]

Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?

A little bit higher now

Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?

'Cause I can't get out of this house

[Harmonica solo]

[Chorus]

Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?

A little bit higher now

Is the bar for being an alcoholic a little bit higher now?

'Cause I can't get out of this house

[Bridge]

I can't get out of this house

I can't get out of this house

I can't get out of this house

I can't get out of this house

[Guitar solo]
