Whiskey And Water




 Turn my whiskey into water
My cigarettes, I don't know what they taste like
Other women seem so ugly to me now
Playthings stand dusty
Books lie open on the page where I met her
And that other life
Is just a memory to me now
So tell me how it feels  -  It feels so good 
Tell me how it goes  -  It goes so fast 
So tell me how it feels  -  It feels so good 
Tell me how it goes  -  It goes so fast 

So fast
I was clumsy, heavy-handed
Grown selfish, ill-tempered
But that life
Is just a memory to me now
Softly nudge towards her
Gently put inside her
And that other life
Just seems so ugly to me now
