Moxy Früvous The Drinking Song Lyrics:
(Mike)
And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred

He was a rock, to the
end, a solid reminder
Couldn't deny a friend

(Mike & Jian)
We lived in the noise and
the sweet amber poison

(Mike)
Peekin' up the skirt of the end

And we'd drink, two gnarly
dudes and some records
Much like plates of black food

(Mike & Jian)
We filled up our faces,
saw some far places

(Mike)
Stood on the roof in the nude

(All)
And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred

(Mike)
Between poles, he said
"We're like cows in
the grass"
Brushing off flies

(Mike & Jian)
Chaise lounging around,
standing up, falling down

(Mike)
Till we no longer opened our eyes

And we'd drink, ever notice how
drinking's like war?
Cup o' troops o'er the gums

(Mike & Jian)
To the end of our health, a
campaign 'gainst myself

(Mike)
Armed with bourbons and
scotches and rums

(All)
And the band played on

As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred

(Mike)
Think of bombs, we're poised on
the edge of disaster
Whether it's right or it's wrong

(Mike & Jian)
We opened the window,
played some Nintendo

(Mike)
Sang a few bars of some pretty old song:

(All)
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene

(Mike)
I'll see you in my dreams

Oh to dream, those impotent
bones of extinction
Flying graceful and free

(Mike & Jian)
None but the best 'cause
the man cannot rest

(Mike)
Till he's finally beaten his me

(All)
And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred

(Mike)
Till the end, he passed
out on the sundeck that
morning
Quietly saying goodbye

(Mike & Jian)
But I was so hammered I
sputtered and stammered

(Mike)
Told him he couldn't just die

He was a rock, went straight
for his own Armageddon
Face froze in a grin

(Mike & Jian)
Ambulance flyin' in, I never drank again

(Mike)
Can't really call that a loss or a win

(All, acappella)
And the band played on
As the helicopters whirred
Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn
My senses finally blurred
