Two Drink Minimum Lyrics
As hope and promise fade,
and the sun forgets to rise.
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty,
but its better a stay dry,
no more than two drinks away from crying.
Stare intto the glass,
wait for the time to pass.
Thank you for the offer,
but you know that I mus t stay,
no more than two drinks away from crying.
There used to be a time when I could hold my head up high,
my life stretched out before me,
the river flows with wine.
I had my love beside me and everything was fine,
now the ride is over,its hard to say goodbye.
As hope and promis fade,
and midnight turns to day.
I'd like to drown my sorrow but I cannot tell a lie,
no more than two drinks away from crying.
and the sun forgets to rise.
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty,
but its better a stay dry,
no more than two drinks away from crying.
wait for the time to pass.
Thank you for the offer,
but you know that I mus t stay,
no more than two drinks away from crying.
my life stretched out before me,
the river flows with wine.
I had my love beside me and everything was fine,
now the ride is over,its hard to say goodbye.
and midnight turns to day.
I'd like to drown my sorrow but I cannot tell a lie,
no more than two drinks away from crying.

Its a shame that this is only a bonus track. Chris shines when he sings like this. The guy sings with all his might.I think its obvious that this song is about coping with loss in general. But then again it could be loss of a loved one. Simple song.
First of all, the lyric is definitely...
Thank you for the offer, but you know I MUST DECLINE
Meaning? Loss of a loved one, and perhaps a bit of Cornell's struggle to lay off the whiskey for the sake of his voice.
