even if this doesn't correct anything, if you like this song i thought you would be interested in the first(?) draft of these lyrics, from ben's absolutepunk journal, on 5-22-06.
does your family have any history
of addiction or succombing to a guy like me?
was your father the type to say things right
or was your mother the type to spend the night?
because i get the feeling that you're buying time
Ironically enough, as you find your light
you call for two more shots but don't wait for the lime
down the hatch goes your last reason to put up a fight
Yeah darling take it off, you can blame me in the morning
it's not my fault that his touch grew boring
it's always "just tonight" as long as drinks keep coming
and he'll never have know if i can keep you humming
This is dirty water
but it's still something worth drinking down
if it can cure my dehydration
those words you just let slip dried me out
cos we've got dirty laundry
and we've got closets with hinges that beg
to bust and expose us for the charlatans
the strangers in the elevator,
the staircase and the caterer's waiter,
always knew we were
Yeah darling take it off, you can blame me in the morning
it's not my fault that his touch grew boring
it's always "just tonight" as long as drinks keep coming
and he'll never have know if i can keep you humming
and then he gets the feeling that you're buying time
as you struggle like a teen to spark that light
you call for two more shots but don't wait for the lime
down the hatch goes your last reason to lie
