You walk in the room, the folks are all there
With glasses in hand, but you can’t take the band
So you head for the bar
The barman’s well stocked, he knows where you’re at
He offers a drink but you can’t take none of that
(No, you can’t take none of that)
Everybody’s havin’ fun, so why be the one
Who’s out in the cold, it’s not good enough
You made a deal with yourself
You said you’d never, never take another drop
Your cravin’s big, your liver’s shot
You’d give a million for a solitary drop
You take your first belt, it tastes like pure hell
The second one drops, intentions are shot
Well you think you might as well, you take another sip
You get to likin’ it, the music sounds hip
So you head for the floor (so you head for the floor)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well you step out on the dance floor
And you grab at your boss’s wife
You’ve been longin’ to hold her close
For the whole of your workin’ life
And the band played on
Hey (move your ass)
Well your hostess is lookin’ mad
As your hands start to wander
And your boss is gonna get you now
He’s gonna put you six feet under
You get walked to the door and
Your feet don’t touch the floor
You’re never gonna see ’em no more
The dawn starts to break, your head’s a big ache
You’re lyin’ in bed, you’re back from the dead
And your mouth feels like old leather (old leather)
Never do it again (you’ll never do it again)
Everyone was havin’ fun but you were the one
Kicked out in the cold, you slept in your clothes
You let ’em down, down at the club
You know your confidence got to take the rub
Your boss is sore, you’ve had your chance
He says he never wants to see you again
Don’t wanna see you again (don’t wanna see you again)
You’ve got to dry out, the boys have found out
It’s the end of the line but it’s martini time
So you head for the bar
