Lamont's Lament - Catch 22

sad is the man who drinks with himself

to fog up the day that precedes

from sad then to happy

from happy to bitter

that bitter old man is me hey (hey), drink it all away

i said hey (hey), drink it all away

and i dance for the light of the stars in the sky

and sleep all alone tonight

one for my headaches, 2 for the road

3 for my family and 4 for the show

5 for my sorrows, 6 for my wrongs

7 to hell with this song

hey (hey), drink it all away

i said hey (hey), drink it all away

and i dance for the light of the stars in the sky

and sleep all alone tonight

well everyone feels the need to belong

everyone feels the need for a cause

the forces of nature are naturally sure

but where’s the effect?

where’s the effect?
