Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire

Drinking Song (in The Grande Style)

Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire


Look at you 
You disgust me 
Sitting there staring at me 
Giving me no more respect 
Than the images on your TV 

Well, I have a wish for you 
Oh, I have a wish for you 

May all your mornings be bright 
May all your wool stockings fit a little too tight 
May alarms that sound on the cars around town 
Their owners never be found 

Your palate is dry 
And your tongue is green 
That's me in your head 
Telling you to stay off my scene 

You're drunk 
And I suppose that's your excuse 
But really, 
You know I'm not the anchor of the ten o'clock news 

A toast to you 
My inappropriate friends 
Godspeed to the bathroom tiles 
Your unbridled ignorance truly offends 

It's a drinking song in the grande style.
