Fog and night after a thirsty day  

It was a hot sun beating on an empty plate, you know  

That damn dog's barking at the hissing cars  

I hear whispers from afar  

What was that? what did you say? does what really matter anyway?  

Dark eyes staring at the wall  

Mascara crumbling beneath the fall of eyelids drooping down  

Answer me! what did you say? why do you have to be this way?  

"What way is that", was her reply  

She smiled and raised her big brown eyes  

She said, "i don't give a damn what you do  

And I really don't care what happens to you  

You can whistle in the dark if you remember the tune  

And recite your litany of gloom and doom  

But there is one thing you can do for me..."  

She shifted her ass and spread her knees  

She said, " I don't give a damn what you  

Do just pour me a glass of that bitch's brew  

No, I really don't care what happens to you do  

I want a long cold glass of that bitch's brew"  



The rain is coming down in sheets  

Windshield's trickling jagged streaks  

It's a scripture written on tinted glass  

Hissing like a snake in the grass  

Something hard lies on the seat  

My lips move but I don't speak  

My eyes are glued to that blinking sign  

And I just sit there, biding my time  

"Cheap rooms" it says "open all the time"  

Handcuffs ring a tightened fist  

Lipstick smears a bloodied lip  

What's mine is mine, that's what  

I know to have and hold, to keep control  

That's all I know  

That's all I know and I don't really care what happens next 

This has nothing to do with sex  

I just need something to see me through  

Something to keep me from coming unglued  

I don't know what I抣l do, wait,... I know what I抣l do  

I know what I抣l do I抣l pop the cork on that bitch's brew  

I抣l take a long stiff pull on that bitch's brew  



I don't want no more I don't want no more  

The bartender dragged me across the floor  

Don't worry, man, that guy is long gone  

"Maybe you shouldn't called him a fucking moron  

You shouldn't start things you can't see through  

Wow, that guy sure made a mess of you"  

Now I lay me down to sleep and pray the lord my soul to keep  

If I should die before I wake, you'll know I had a belly ache  

"Shut up, man, shut up, man, you're brain is fried  

Now don't stare at me with that look in your eyes"  

What's mine is mine what's mine is mine  

Said the frog to the snake as he crawled from the slime  

My brain is fine, my brain, my brain, my brain is fine  

How's that for a goddamned coupled rhyme  

"Look man, why don't you just get on this stool  

You ain't no poet, you're just a fucking fool"  

I don't know what I抣l do I don't know what I抣l do  

"Try doing what's right  

Seek serenity in a world of delights  

Till boom, boom, boom, out go the lights  

Till boom, boom, boom, out go the lights"  

Yea, that's going to help me to see me through  

Like that's going to keep me from coming unglued  

"Look man, I really don't give a fuck what you do  

And I don't really care what happens to you  

But there's maybe one little thing that I can do  

I抣l pour you a shot of that bitch's brew  

Yea, one quick belt of that bitch's brew  

Then you've have to leave, we're closing  

You know what they say  

You don't have to go home  

But you can't stay here"
