Carry me home to the love that I know Is waiting for me at the end of the sea And I’ve packed my belongings and said my goodbyes The ship in the bottle is ready to ride the waves Johnny Walker Red Is a blue-talking sailor All the words he said You’ll apologize later Drinks from your glass as he climbs up the mast And points to the gathering stars That’s where you learn Which way to turn chorus Jose Cuervo Gold Is a shipwreck survivor Left him with the soul Of a mad taxi driver Run through the light with him Stay out all night with him Crashing the rocks on the waves Ask your bartender What to remember Mickey’s Bigmouth Ale Yeah, we all know what that means Hoist her tattered sail Your ocean is wide and green And served in a barrel, the pride of O’Farrell St. Pouring you out in the foam Finally a friend Finally a home chorus Carry me home to the love that I know Is waiting for me at the end of the sea And I’ve packed my belongings and said my goodbyes The ship in the bottle is ready to ride the waves Johnny Walker Red Is a blue-talking sailor All the words he said You’ll apologize later Drinks from your glass as he climbs up the mast And points to the gathering stars That’s where you learn Which way to turn chorus Jose Cuervo Gold Is a shipwreck survivor Left him with the soul Of a mad taxi driver Run through the light with him Stay out all night with him Crashing the rocks on the waves Ask your bartender What to remember Mickey’s Bigmouth Ale Yeah, we all know what that means Hoist her tattered sail Your ocean is wide and green And served in a barrel, the pride of O’Farrell St. Pouring you out in the foam Finally a friend Finally a home chorus
This little girl comes up to me And mister, I apologize She seemed so innocent Skinny hips and Bambi eyes Pale as the man in the moon Talking ‘bout some people Who might find her soon No matter what you think No matter what you do Never fall in love with someone Crazier than you She’s got this photograph She’s keeping from the CIA Somebody famous Wearing what looks like a negligee Time for the wages of sin: “Boy, I need a favor That’s where you come in…” Chorus Count yourself lucky You still can fly Count yourself lucky You’re too cool to die Everybody’s got somebody Living in the hole inside their head Who bangs the Underwood And writes the words you wish you never said And all the things you swore You’d never really do Oh, come on, mister I know you been there, too Chorus Count yourself lucky You’re too cool to die
Well, I don't know but I used to hear
a man's as good as his favorite beer
and my favorite beer
was Schlitz
It was the beer that made Milwaukee famous
when you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer
reach for all the gusto you can find
and you only go around once in life
And I had a friend when I was fifteen
with a mustache for a fake ID
one weekend in Atlantic City with his folks
The Boardwalk was shining bright
as we set out one summer night
with a quart of Schlitz between us and our hopes
And he met a girl and they made out
on somebody's porch while I kept a lookout
learning all I could from across the street
with a headache and a bottle at my feet
And we snuck home as the sun came up
and I didn't feel great
but I didn't throw up
and either way, I knew that they were right
you only go around once in life
you only go around once in life
Well, I don't know but I used to hear
a man's as good as his favorite beer
I don't really have a favorite now
Used to be there were just a few
you made your choice and then you knew
and somehow that was comforting somehow
Schlitz was the beer that made Milwaukee famous
you had to reach for all the gusto you could grab
Well, I'm still reaching
'cause they probably were right
you only go around once in life
you only go around once in life
Schlitz was the beer that made Milwaukee famous

Early morning... late night 5:00 at the Satellite Chelsea takes your order like some angel out of nowhere smiles as if she knows you and you just don’t know She wants to be in love if she could find a way to go there Wants to be in bed a couple hours ago chorus And love comes raining down when no one’s looking and no one sees it pouring from the skies And when you step outside the streets are shining Colored light reflects into your eyes And I’m collecting anecdotes I’ll tell ‘em if you let me I’ll say it’s for my novel and it could be true I measure my disasters by the laughs that they could get me chasing off the past again with someone new 5:00 at the Satellite And love comes raining down when no one’s looking and no one sees it pouring from the skies And when you step outside the streets are shining Colored light reflects into your eyes
