In Praise Of Bacchus

Hey Bacchus hey
She hates me,
Hey Bacchus hey
She hates me.

She hates me.

Hey Bacchus hey
She hates me,
Hey Bacchus hey
She hates me.

The street lamps light a wet old red hook road
A furry vino tinted slave,
Molten oil painted Brooklyn bridge
(cobblestone grave)

A lonely blue girl guards the riverbed
She shakes her brown torch at the tide,
On Pier Six we'd creep and count the cracks...

(side by side,
side by side
see, we're counting cracks)

Your mom was out wearing herself inside
I'll stop the train to say hello,
A used boyfriend's just bought her this new car
(I said I know.)

She said burn
Together.

Burn
We'll burn together

Hey Bacchus hey
She hates me,
(Hates me)
Hey Bacchus hey
She hates me.

(She hates me)

She hates me.
She hates me.

She said burn
Together.

She said burn
Together.

Burn
We'll burn
Together.

(Burning together).

Now don't believe she'll never leave again,
I can't forget the words she said back when.

She said burn
We'll burn together

(Burning together).
