BRENDAN KELLY LYRICS

"Kiss The Bottle"

Originally by Jawbreaker

It gets loneliest at night, down at the liquor store, beneath the neon sky.
6am, the floor comes alive with lice, pans dried up so tight, with hardened beans.

So I lean on you sometime, just to see you're still there.
Feet can't take the weight of one, much less two, and we hit concrete.

You were born into this mess.
You know I painted you a prettier picture, baby.
We got run out on the rail.
Fell from the wagon to the night train.
I kissed the bottle.
Should've been kissing you.
You wake up to an empty night, with tears for two.

Cigarettes, they filled the gaps in our empty days, in our broken teeth.
So, Mr. can you spare a dime?
Some change will make a change or buy some time,
Or an ear to hear my story, it's all I got,
This fiction beats the hell out of my truth,
This palm upturned burnt blue, don't call it sunburn.

I been shaking on the job. Just one drink ahead of my past.
And there's a white light coming up.
And I'll draw the blinds hoping it'll pass, but it won't pass boy.

I kissed the bottle.
Should've been kissing you.
You wake up to an empty night, with tears for two.
With tears for two.
