god of wine

every thought that i repent

there's another chip you haven't spent

and you're cashing them all in

where do we begin to get clean again

can we get clean again

i walk home alone with you

and the mood you're born into

sometimes you let me in

and i take it on the chin

i can't get clean again

i want to know can we get clean again

the god of wine comes crashing through

the headlights of a car that took you farther

than you thought you'd ever want to go

we can't get back again

we can't get back again

she takes a drink and then she waits

the alcohol it permeates

and soon the cells give way

and cancels out the day

i can't keep it all together

i know i know i know. i can't keep it all together

and the siren's song that is your madness

holds a truth i can't erase

all alone on your face

every glamorous sunrise

throws the planets out of line

a star sign out of whack

a fraudulent zodiac

and the god of wine is crouched down in my room

you let me down

i said it

now i'm going down

and you're not even around

and i said no no no. i can't keep it all together

i know i know i know. i can't keep it all together

and there's a memory of a window

looking through i see you

searching for something i could never give you

and there's someone who understands

you more than i do

a sadness i can't erase

all alone on your face
