lyrics

passed out on the floor in a puddle of vomit
the vodka runs free through your veins
biased opinions now wrapped up in ice
freezing their racist remarks
silly silhouettes grace the walls where we sit
and honesty falls through the floor
silence remains on the grin on your face
toothless and beautifully wry.

for once in my life, i've never felt so far from home.

drunken lullabies sung at new year's first light
calms you and eases your nerves
a photograph album of daybreak each year
documents stars on the page
and sister i salute you for making the grade
for teaching us all to behave
for fitting the blocks in a pattern that works
and throwing your dress to the floor.

for once in my life, i've never felt so far from home.
for once in my life, i've never felt so much release.
