Coffee Dogs

We'll no more dance
We'll no more sing
These bitter days will clip your wings
Our brilliant friends have all gone south
Now no more diamonds will come falling from my mouth
For there's the champagne here
For there's no chandeliers
I'm getting used to seeing paler colors everywhere
But I’ll ride that wagon with you
Until the sorry end
Looks like you and me are coffee dogs again
So cheers my dear
We'll just hold hands
Sit in the dark and watch the band
This bottled charm could never last
But I’ll bet you fifty I still make you laugh
For there's the champagne here
For there's no chandeliers
I'm getting used to seeing paler colors everywhere
But I’ll ride that wagon with you
Until the sorry end
Looks like you and me are coffee dogs again
Don't say a word I don't give a damn
I'm just a ten-cent firecracker
Going off in a garbage can
A little prince of misery
Now I wonder what the hell you ever saw in me
Now all those old familiar places seem so stupid and so cruel
The horns don't scream the drums don't kick quite like they used to do
One of these days we'll just quit quittin'
But for now let's just pretend
That you and me are coffee dogs again
