lyrics

The day is hazy like my brain
Clouding over all my shame
Double-buckled dusty Mary Janes
Keeping perfect time

Counting lines to stay awake
How many hearts do you have to break
The bells keep singing for your sake
On my jester's cap

And I can taste you when I sleep
Like candy in my mouth
I put you under my tongue to keep
And feel you melt away

Smiling eyes will end up hollow
Bitter wine that's hard to swallow
I should have stayed where it was shallow
Than get caught in the undertow

Well it was too soon, now it's too late
Keeping a promise I never made
For now I'll have to ruminate
And maybe cry awhile

And I can taste you when I sleep
Like candy in my mouth
I put you under my tongue to keep
And feel you melt away

"So many nights I waited in vain, singing our songs out in the rain,
but my love, I knew you had my number and my heart, it seems, had run asunder..."

Tick tock goes the mantle clock
Keeping time with my battered heart
Well I never saw it coming dear
But you knew from the start

The day is hazy like my brain
Clouding over all my shame
Double-buckled dusty Mary Janes
Keeping perfect time

After convincing the talented Anna Bekolay (violin), Sarah Scharf (clarinet), Nevin Buehler (upright bass), Peter Abonyi (guitar) and Aidan Weiman (drums) to join her on her misadventure, The Whiskey Jerks soon created their own distinct niche. ... more
