The Longest Drink Lyrics
I took every concoction
Every remedy for fear
And tried them on a thousand faces
And on this vague assignment
Only one completely worked
And I’m afraid it just erases
[chorus]
I can’t believe how long it lasts
I travel the trail openly without cause
My eyes strained; locked open and pierced the woods
I’m drinking the longest drink I ever saw, ever saw
I hid it ‘neath my jacket
And kept my shirt against my skin
Locked myself out of my apartment
Looked for jobs in town
As an easel for a frame
Took one more sip each time the door slammed
[repeat chorus]
I saw on the corner filling bottles
Thieves dressed up like movies stole nine portions
And drank them when they couldn’t find a broker who would buy
We can’t believe how long it lasts
We traveled the trail openly without cause
Our eyes strained; locked open and pierced the woods
We’re drinking the longest drink we ever saw, ever saw
Every remedy for fear
And tried them on a thousand faces
And on this vague assignment
Only one completely worked
And I’m afraid it just erases
I can’t believe how long it lasts
I travel the trail openly without cause
My eyes strained; locked open and pierced the woods
I’m drinking the longest drink I ever saw, ever saw
And kept my shirt against my skin
Locked myself out of my apartment
Looked for jobs in town
As an easel for a frame
Took one more sip each time the door slammed
Thieves dressed up like movies stole nine portions
And drank them when they couldn’t find a broker who would buy
We traveled the trail openly without cause
Our eyes strained; locked open and pierced the woods
We’re drinking the longest drink we ever saw, ever saw
