Io Bevo

i drink because keith richards does and madonna don't but should
i drink not to forget but to recall my childhood
i drink because it's getting late
and the nights, the nights are drawing in

watch me empty this glass to fill my heart
remember me, i used to be somebody
come over my place, get out of my face
don't you love this trap that sets me free

i drink because i'm hurting and i can't feel a thing
i drink because god is dead, forgive me father i have sinned
i'm in love with this sickness
i'm being killed by the remedy

they keep playing those sad songs for me
stay lonely, stay lonely
stay whatever you were ever meant to be
set them up and keep playing those sad songs for me
stay lonely, stay only
i got my sorrows, still i run out of sleep

i drink because i love you more than you love me
i drink for all that never was and all that will never be
i drink because the 60's failed
and the nights, the nights are drawing in

watch me empty this glass and fill my heart
johnny remember me, we used to be somebody
first i drink from the bottle
and then the bottle drinks from me

they keep playing those sad songs for me
stay lonely, stay lonely, stay whatever you were ever meant to be
set them up and keep playing those sad songs for me
stay lonely, stay lonely, stay whatever you were ever meant to be

io bevo, io bevo
set them up and keep playing those sad sad songs for me
stay lonely, stay lonely, stay whatever you were ever meant to be

io bevo, io bevo
i'll call you, don't you call me
set them up and keep playing those sad sad songs for me
io bevo, io bevo
i'll call you, don't you call me
