Story Of The Regulars

he'll take her home after she is done for the day.
Napoleon and JFK drink their third bottle of Jack
for all them glory days that sure ain't coming back,

advising Abe Lincoln on the parties to ignore.

The house bands' at the urinals, talking 'bout the show,
The Wright brothers, Lenin and Robinhood in tow;

'No one wants my company, well this just ain't my night.'

'I never had much luck with love, but I'm very good at games!'

wondering what the hell Gandhi's raving on about.

'I'm sure that this is it, thank god my lonely days are done!'

'Man sailed half the world, yet he's fucked on a wine like this!'

And I've just woken up, smiling in my bed:
it was another Wednesday night at the bar inside my head.
