Handlebar Drinking Song

I would like to forget
Like a tin in a hot cat roof
Don’t be silly now
If you would give me this dance
I would lend you my hands
But never remind me ever again
I love not being me
Jolly! I’m drinking Christmas trees
I’m sleeping under the sink tonight
I feel this prison is free
I won’t be who I am
I cannot feel my skin
I feel just about right
I will not confine you
And although you don’t try to
It seems to be the only thing you can do
I want to forget, like a tin
In a hot cat roof caving in
Going under again
I love not being me
Jolly! I’m drinking Christmas trees
I’m sleeping under the sink tonight
I feel this prison is free
I won’t be who I am
When I check myself in
I’ll be out for the night
Though I cannot keep you out
I will bury you in
With a bottle of every planet in the universe
Although I’m neither of the two
I’ll keep searching for the only the brew
For the brave and true

Brothers

It’s like we’re brothers or something
Lying under a tree
Back to back, in elegance
So we could sleep
And keep out from the rain
Fall like feathers
To the ground into your grave
It’s like we’re brothers or something
Like feathers falling from pillowcases,
On every place, we’ll fall
So keep us inside
With all of your lies and little things
Your tongue recites
And we’ll fall from the sky
From shooting stars to bloody scars
I’ll watch you die
I am always your wingman
And you’ll always be mine
From the feathers, wear the wings Upon your chest
It’s like we’re brothers or something
Like I’m watching you sleep
Murderer, you murderer
Make sure you don’t leave
Peak through Venetian blinds
Charlie, Charlie, come on Charlie
It’s all right
We’re like brothers or something
I’ll always run away
You know I don’t stick
My neck out for nobody
But we’re like brothers or something
And I’ll always come back
And blow your enemies to bits
and ticket stubs
So brother, get on that plane!
What greater love than-
Brother, my life is yours to take!
It’s like we’re brothers or something
