Thank you all for coming why don’t you order up a round I’d love to tell the story of my gay new town And how I went down Song 2: whispering deep I heard the waves whisper sweet An invite to an endless sleep Let the fish chew on my heavy bones When they sink into the deep Forever out of reach Salvation from a place I once called home I’d never need to speak My voice lost to the sea Silent as the tide that comes and goes Let the ocean give me peace A watery reprieve Nothing left but ashes in my wake They’ll forget all about me I’ll finally be free No more burdens on more weary soul I’d never need to speak My voice lost to the sea Silent as the tide that comes and goes

Beer is nothing but a joke Moonshine will just make you choke To make your sorrows all just go away Just have some whiskey Wine can't hold them all down the nightmares are too hard to drown When you need the burn to put out all the flames just have some whiskey Rye whiskey does the job and good 'ol bourbon, too Those Kentucky boys sure know how to silence all my blues Canadian will also do just fine to exorcise the demons from your mind (mind, mind) Start again if you please run as far as you need if you find your past there when you arrive just have some whiskey

C'est Si Bon 04:30
C'est Si Bon It's true it was so good C'est Si Bon Would never ask for more C'est Si Bon There were promises to keep C'est Si Bon I felt so all alone But the night they say is darkest just before the breaking dawn And the night they say is darkest after all has come and gone, C'est Si Bon. It's all gone Everything I had It's all gone The only life I knew It's all gone The place I called my home It's all gone Burned to light my way But the night they say is darkest just before the breaking dawn And the night they say is darkest after all has come and gone, C'est Si Bon. One more drink if you think that it will help One more drink I think you might be right One more drink you've all been so very kind One more drink it's all just medicine But the night they say is darkest just before the breaking dawn And the night they say is darkest after all has come and gone, C'est Si Bon

What does it mean to sleep in your dreams? To never open your eyes? Feelings of dread when you rest your head, The void is not a surprise May the grave stay Far away But for today Sleep like the dead There is no comfort to unending slumber Nothing to feel but the cold The stone is your bed and where you rest your head To wait for your time in a hole May the grave stay Far away But for today Sleep like the dead
