Cocktail Lyrics

I started missing the days
Where as soon as I'd wake
I'd make a cocktail
I'd spend the time that you took
Giving me dirty looks
With my cocktail

And just like every love affair
On the far ? my armor shows
On a border shop full of hope
And I'd get a little green
I could be dancing on one leg
And enjoying the masquerade
Well I'm not making any lemonade
But I got lemons if you need

In my ?
I'd sing a serenade and sip a cocktail
My very own world view I'd tell the people I knew
Through a cocktail
Oh can you turn to
When the world is bleeding you dry
May I now turn you loose
And watch you either in the day light?

Sometimes I feel like a corpse
With a lifetime subscription
Just a strange proposition
Oh, the ? sacrifice

Now how is every day the same
In a variety of places
All the ? and empty spaces
In the middle of a crowd
I could be slipping off the wing of a dove
Or tied up onto the tree ?
But either way I'd ain't coming back
The only way out is down
Yeah, the only way out, my friend
Is falling down

Cover art for Cocktail lyrics by Deer Tick

seems like an ode to drinking. I relate to it. I love the line, I ain't making any lemonade but I got lemons if you need.

Also some lyric corrections: And just like every love affair On the far ? my armor shows On a border shop full of hope

should be

And just like every love affair when the fault in my armor shows and the board is shot full of holes

In my ? I'd sing a serenade and sip a cocktail My very own world view I'd tell the people I knew Through a cocktail

should be

In my meandering ways I'd sing a serenade and sip a cocktail
