When It Pours It Reigns

There's a king that has me under its control
 And all the time that I've spent serving it
 Has taken quite a toll
 With a tiny fragile bottle for a throne
 It holds the power to knock me flat
 And leave me stoned
 When it pours it reigns
 It rules my world and has me locked up in chains
 Don't know why this fool
 Goes near any barstool
 When I know it brings me nothing but pain
 When it pours it reigns
 This king is clever
 It's know by many names
 And anytime I'm in its company
 It always ends the same
 And I can't tell you why I choose to stay
 When I know my freedom's just twelve steps away
 When it pours it reigns
 It rules my world and has me locked up in chains
 Don't know why this fool
 Goes near any barstool
 When I know it brings me nothing but pain
 When it pours it reigns
 I thought it was the answer
 It dried up all my tears when we first met
 But now I can't remember what it was
 That I was trying to forget
 When it pours it reigns
 It rules my world and has me locked up in chains
 Don't know why this fool
 Goes near any barstool
 When I know it brings me nothing but pain
 When it pours it reigns
 Don't know why this fool
 Goes near any barstool
 When I know it brings me nothing but pain
 When it pours it reigns
