5 O'Clock Shadow at 9 (Live)

Lyrics

I laid down for a snooze - how did I lose
 Seven days? No way, no how
 Got into the booze, and that's my excuse
 For passing out
 You've heard of drinking your baby goodbye
 Being so lonesome that you could cry
 She said 'The closet's for clothes.'
 Yeah, she took most of those
 All she left was some pills and some rye
 You see, my 'life partner', Faye, just walked away
 From 3 years, 2 cars and 1 ring
 No, not with a guy, but some chick with one eye
 A portly thing
 You've heard of drinking your baby goodbye
 Being so lonesome that you could cry
 No blood left to give
 My heart is a sieve
 And there's nothing left to drip dry
 I went at it real hard with complete disregard
 For my mind, my gut and my bones
 I fell, hit my head, 'cause that pill bottle read:
 'Testosterone'
 You've heard of drinking your baby goodbye
 Being so lonesome that you could cry
 From this hospital room, it's clear, I'm doomed
 And that's what she expects for this guy
 You've heard of drinking your baby goodbye
 Being so lonesome that you could cry
 Now, in the next gurney bed my Faye is a Fred
 With 5 o'clock shadow at 9
 Now, in the next gurney bed my Faye is a Fred
 With 5 o'clock shadow at 9
