[Couplet 1]
This is just, just between us
Nothing will be between us
This is just, just between us
Nothing will be between us
I could ruin the night
Quickly sink into oblivion
But...
With me tonight:
[Chorus]
Alcohol — my friend
Alcohol — my enemy
Alcohol is always
Guilty of something
In the middle of palaces
That look the same
I want to climb
With my head in the sand
[Couplet 2]
The malice of the day1 will free up your hands
If I haven't died of boredom
I'm like a wolf in sheep's clothing
Steadfastly weathered the storm
Yes, that's what's called a fantasy
I'm not ready to deny myself
But I don't care, I'm not a sissy2 at all
Maybe Judas' kiss is on me3
[Chorus]
Alcohol — my friend
Alcohol — my enemy
Alcohol is always
Guilty of something
In the middle of palaces
That look the same
I want to climb
With my head in the sand
Alcohol — my friend
Alcohol — my enemy
Alcohol is always
Guilty of something
In the middle of palaces
That look the same
I want to climb
With my head in the sand
