lyrics

Well, the Drunk and the Silhouette
Do pirouettes round the lounge room
And sing sad songs at the top of their lungs
And let tall tales drip from the tip of their tongues

And the Ghost of Memory
Like uninvited family
Comes round to visit late at night
To sprinkle his bullshit and start up a fight

But the Drunk and the Silhouette
Only get caught up in thoughts of all that was good
And they fall into each other’s arms
And weep like any other grown man would
It’s the older you get and the closer to Death
Well, it brings out the best and the worst
Least the more you forget
The less you regret and the less that it hurts
Till you wake up in the morning feeling twice as worse

Well, the Drunk and the Silhouette
Quit cigarettes and light up cigars
And reflect on loves from the past
But it ends with cramps in a lukewarm bath

And the Ghost of Here-and-Now
Arrives late and takes a bow
And he speaks of dreams that are fading from view
But he’s got more wine, so they pull up a pew

Well, the Drunk and the Silhouette
Only get caught up in thoughts of all that is good
And they fall into each other’s arms
And weep like any other grown man should
It’s the older you get and the closer to Death
Well, it brings out the best and the worst
Least the more you forget
The less you regret and the less that it hurts

When I was a child, I was as wild as the wind and as free
When I was a child, I was as wild as the wind and as free
When I was a child, I was as wild as the wind and as free
When I was a child, I was as wild as the wind and as free
