Barstool Blues

If I could hold onto just one thoughtFor long enough to knowWhy my mind is moving so fastAnd the conversation is slow.Burn off all the fogAnd let the sunthrough to the snowLet me see your face againBefore I have to go.I have seen you in the moviesAnd in those magazines at nightI saw you on the barstool whenYou held that glass so tight.And I saw you in my nightmaresBut I'll see you in my dreamsAnd I might live a thousand yearsBefore I know what that means.Once there was a friend of mineWho died a thousand deathsHis life was filled with parasitesAnd countless idle threats.He trusted in a womanAnd on her he made his betsOnce there was a friend of mineWho died a thousand deaths.
