You’re so beautiful when you are drunk
Your left eye goes lazy and you act like a punk
You laugh as you trip on the heels of your pumps
You’re so beautiful when you are drunk

I get lost in your glassy eyed stare
You’re the center of attention but you don’t even care
I mumble, “I love you,” like it’s some kind of prayer
You just give me your glassy eyed stare

We stumble through the streets and I fall down at your feet
It’s the same old thing we did last week
Another beer cave for us to spelunk 
Just another drink with just another drunk

You have grace, glamour, and style
As you fumble with the phone that you can’t even dial
We sleep in the taxi that only takes us a mile
So much for grace glamour and style

I love the smell of merlot on your breath
As you yell at the door as if it were deaf
On the couch like a corpse the only thing that is left
Is the smell of merlot on your breath

Pink elephants on parade, will we ever have it made?
The money’s always gone before I get paid
And all I can think of after all I have thunk
Is you’re so beautiful when you are drunk
You’re so beautiful when you are drunk

You're So Beautiful When You Are Drunk

RockAway Sundays - March 21st 2021

Minus one and the sun rising
Trying to get a message to you
I wonder do you receive them
Am I getting through to you

I am awoken, I'm seeing all of your symbols
All the signals that you've left for me
So animal, picking up scent,
I can't even articulate what it is I see

And you say "I got you outta this
Now whaddya got for me?
I got you outta this
Now whaddya got whaddya got?"

Drowning in the sun babe, sun babe, and frost
Drowning in the sun babe,
and the sense of something lost
Drowning in the sun babe, sun babe, and frost, 
And you've stopped reading my eyes too 
You've stopped reading my eyes 

Now I've dug up the treasure 
I can take back what's mine 
Give me every music and pleasure 
I am the truest ever lie 

I am awoken, I'm seeing all of your symbols
All the signals that you've left for me
I haven't yet stepped wrong but I keep losing my keys 
Am I losing my way too? 

And you say... (chorus) 

I don't want to do any damage
Not every fire has to ravage
No fuel you burn can keep you at my pace
Just sit back and watch me blaze 

I am awoken... (chorus) 

Now just when I should be mild
I find myself all aflame 
Now I find myself to be wild
Just when I thought that I was tamed.. 

Minus One
