Have a Cocktail Lyrics

I feel so convoluted
check my pressure
have a cocktail
Please sir have a drink, it's on the house
and the boy will eat the cinema
the boy will eat it all, and then some more
and then some more

I feel so convoluted
check my pressure
have a cocktail
Oh have a drink, it's on the house
and the boy will eat the cinema
the boy will eat it all, and then some more
and then some more

So everybody come back from the dead
So you can teach us what you fought for then
And I hope we're wrong
Yes I hope we're wrong

And I'm all done with mirrors
scary, can't see my reflection
and can you touch me
can you taste me
as I ride upon the master
and I can't fade much faster
there I go
and then some more

So everybody come back from the dead
So you can teach us what you fought for then
And I hope we're wrong
Yes I hope we're wrong

And if the world could only be mine
If the world could only be mine

I'd slow it down to half-speed
and take some time to breathe
and delight in love

but we rake them coals of hatred
As we divide the nation alone instead

And if the world could only be mine

Everybody come back from the dead
So you can teach us what you fought for then
And I hope we're wrong
Yeah I hope we're wrong

So everybody come back from the dead
So you can teach us what you fought for then
And I hope we're wrong
Yeah I hope we're wrong

If the world could only be mine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Lyrics (As per lyric booklet)

I feel so convoluted. Check my pressure. Have a cocktail. Please sir have a drink it's on the house. The boy will eat the cinema. The boy will eat it all and then some more. So everybody come back from the dead. So you can teach us what you fought for then. Could we be wrong? I hope we're wrong. And i'm all done with mirrors. Scary, can't see my reflection. Can you touch me? Can you taste me? As I ride upon the master. And I can't fade much faster, there I go. And then some more. If the world could only be mine. I'd slow it down to half speed. And take some time to breathe and delight in love. But we rake them coals of hatred. As we divide the nation alone instead. If the world could only be mine.
