Unlucky Lounge

Bad ventilation duration of a beer
Commonplace shithole drown my fear
This whiskey go down easy
Smooth as a sow's ear
Belly up, suck another
You're in the clear

Everyday deception
Faking a motive
A regular jokes
"This is where I live"
Appraising each intruder
One tipsy glimpse of them
Loyal to a forgotten stratagem

Get on in shake off the road
Don't you know that
You're blocking the door?
Unlucky lounge keeps her
Tables clean for you
Forever darkness at noon

A vestige of some former self
Saddles up slowly to the bar
She receives the news
Above where the bottles stand
At least in here you take your luck
Wash it down with a leer
You'll know soon enough
Don't expect nothin' fancy here
All you can have is what we got
