Dante's Blues No​.​7

lyrics

DANTE’S BLUES No.7
 
Oh there’s a house of pain
In this bar again
But I gotta gallon of pride
To keep my humility shy
 
I seek an end to strife
To wash down a bitter life
So I tried a shot of envy
Now I think all things should belong to me
 
Chorus:
Oh where’s Texas Pete?
When I need a drink
Red hot and mean
The strangest angel you’ve ever seen
 
It started pissing me off
How I always got caught
So I mixed up some wrath with anger
Dante was no stranger
 
I sipped on a quart of sloth
Fell behind and got lost
A whole damn keg of carefree
Tapped it with some sweet apathy
 
Chorus
 
Bartender was taking too long
And he didn’t get my song
So I started pouring my own drink
And he slapped my hand for my greed
 
Half-gallon jug on the top shelf
Took it all for myself
I chugged it till there was none
For punishment I’m a glutton’
 
Chorus
 
I saw her in the corner
Somebody shoulda warned her
Filled my glass with lust
Best rush there ever was
