Barstool Blues

<br>If I could hold on to just one thought<br><br>For long enough to know<br><br>Why my mind is moving so fast<br><br>And the conversation is slow.<br><br>Burn off all the fog<br><br>And let the sun through to the snow<br><br>Let me see your face again<br><br>Before I have to go.<br><br><br><br>I have seen you in the movies<br><br>And in those magazines at night<br><br>I saw you on the barstool when<br><br>You held that glass so tight.<br><br>And I saw you in my nightmares<br><br>But Ill see you in my dreams<br><br>And I might live a thousand years<br><br>Before I know what that means.<br><br><br><br>Once there was a friend of mine<br><br>Who died a thousand deaths<br><br>His life was filled with parasites<br><br>And countless idle threats.<br><br>He trusted in a woman<br><br>And on her he made his bets<br><br>Once there was a friend of mine<br><br>Who died a thousand deaths.
