One Evening - The Jesus Lizard

One evening of pourin' booze

An eventide of hooch

He’d always say, «That pick-me-up

Bone knocked me down.»

Soakin' in the dark

Dragged him to a desperate day

That dirty girl led him drunk away

And then his oats from the night before

Came up with the sun

Bad days had been

But not like this

Lost in a daze (Vaneo mayonnaise)

Momming bed no good

And then his oats from the night before

Came up with the sun

This time he had a better idea

This time he had a clue

He had a precedent this time

This time he knew what to do

That dirty girl led him drunk away

And left him in the sewer

It was right there at that then time

He knew he should never have screwed her
