I'm on the lonely side of a hangover
I'm on the isolated side of despair
I'm on the leaking raft of hoping
I'm on the hoping side of a prayer
I hear the acid tongue of reproach
I have a desperate need to repair
I'm on the the laughing side of a promise
I promise, I promise ,I swear
I promise to reclimb this mountain
The one with love at its peak
I'm broken and lame at its bottom
I'm cynical,selfish and weak
I'm on the lonely side of a hangover
I can't remember the door, I came through
I'm on this dying raft that is sinking
I lie but the drowning is true
I hear the acid tongue of reproach
That whispers then screams with a ryhyme
That love disappears like the beers
And hope disappears like the time
