We keep watch by the forest moon
Drink from the gazelle's heart
Drive stakes into the ground
To draw wine from the spring
All the women and the men
Arrive shrouded in hides
Awaiting he who dies and then returns to life
We heed the wisdom of vines
Vines guard all wisdom of life
We relinquish self
But the god is with us
Oh I don't do sodas, man I don't do tea
I drown my sorrows, forget my name, and give myself to the night
[x2]
Liver baptized in gin
I dance to ward off the djin
Drown my liver in gin
In the name of the father and the son
Tomorrow I rise with the night
And the reckoning bell tolls
But hangovers hurt far less than these woes
Between myself and my joy
A wall as thick as a wine glass
Berlin's couldn't stand
Pour me another; tear down the wall
Oh I don't do sodas, man I don't do tea
I drown my sorrows, forget my name, and give myself to the night
[x2]
I don't do tea
[x7]
Oh I don't do sodas, man I don't do tea
I drown my sorrows, forget my name, and give myself to the night
[x2]
