The Last Ten Years Lyrics
The ferryman
Who takes me to my rest
He don’t give a damn
Who’s cursed or blessed
Anyway, I give him all my cash
I'm like some tragic hero
A lightning flash
Followed by a million zeros
I spent the last ten years
(Yeah)
Trying to waste half an hour
Every drunk is that VIP
Who only lives inside a rope
Where they show you all the love
Make mine a bourbon and coke
I’m not lying, Mr. Ferryman
I always make it home
Though my house is built on sand
It ain't worth the loan
I spent the last ten years
(Yeah)
Trying to waste half an hour
So I had that real good time
And then in the dawn
I saw the bartender’s love
I saw it in a yawn
Mr. Ferryman
Do you party where you’re from?
Do you know where to go
When the party's all done?
I never been to hell
But they got my number
I feel them squirm inside my shell
Praying for slumber
It must suck, Mr. Ferryman
To hear the vanities talk
About the lies they need
Just to walk the walk
I spent the last ten years
(Yeah)
Trying to waste half an hour
Who takes me to my rest
He don’t give a damn
Who’s cursed or blessed
Anyway, I give him all my cash
I'm like some tragic hero
A lightning flash
Followed by a million zeros
(Yeah)
Trying to waste half an hour
Who only lives inside a rope
Where they show you all the love
Make mine a bourbon and coke
I’m not lying, Mr. Ferryman
I always make it home
Though my house is built on sand
It ain't worth the loan
(Yeah)
Trying to waste half an hour
And then in the dawn
I saw the bartender’s love
I saw it in a yawn
Mr. Ferryman
Do you party where you’re from?
Do you know where to go
When the party's all done?
But they got my number
I feel them squirm inside my shell
Praying for slumber
It must suck, Mr. Ferryman
To hear the vanities talk
About the lies they need
Just to walk the walk
(Yeah)
Trying to waste half an hour
