From: "The Devil Sips his Tea"
Good Times
Across the Hall
I hear the footsteps of the woman as she walks
She's kind of nice but I don't know her at all
I guess she thinks I'm drunk again
Because I stumbled up the stairs
I'd like to know her
But she disapproves so I laugh like I don't care
Good times
The finest of times
Sit and drink the emptiness away
Disappear into the laughter and the beer
Tomorrow's just another day
If love's a lie
How do you explain the teardrop forming in my eye
Explain for me the misery that's crawling through my life
The sheer and utter patience as I wait for what I want
The sheer frustration as I nurse the pain of love that never was
Good times
The finest of times
Sit and drink the emptiness away
Disappear into the laughter and the beer
Tomorrow's just another day
I count my change
Drunk from pounds to pennies in the Rising yesterday
I'll wash and brush my hair and clean my rotten teeth and shave
Spruce myself up smartly with my finest suit and tie
Tonight I'm drinking
For tomorrow all too surely I must …
Good times
The finest of times
Sit and drink the emptiness away
Disappear into the laughter and the beer
Tomorrow's just another day
