Time From a Bottle

• when written: roughly 2008-2009. I've temporarily lost where I originally wrote down the words. I think there were more of them (the first part of the second verse). When I find it, that will help pin down the date.

verse

It's in the evening

and everything's all right

Pistol-packin' mama, don't you tell me dirty lies

for I'll be sleeping

underground tonight

and the starlight and the moon will shine without my oversight...

chorus

Wasting away, spilling time from a bottle

Keeping one hand up on the wheel and one hand on the throttle

Wasting the day, spilling time from a bottle

Watching all of our dreams like the stars going out one by one.

verse

So grab a barstool

to keep yourself afloat

If the weather in my head gets out, you'll need your overcoat
