verse 1
Out of the corner of my eye
Prettiest girl, she said goodbye
Such a sad day, but where was I?
Refrain
Drinking with a friend
verse 2
There's a train in the station, and we'll hop on the back
There's nothing to lose, we've got nothing we lack
When we're rolling this fast, we don't look back

Up in the morning, and there's nowhere to go
Too sick to feel the wind that blows
There's only ever been one cure I know

So many things that I wanted to say
I always found the words that got in the way
I looked into your eyes and you turned away

Verse 5
Down at the bottom and my blood's run thin
I always intended to start again
But I'll never rise above the din

Drinking with a friend
Verse 6
I went out to your window as black as the coal
The night is empty to salve the souls
The price we pay for alcohol

Drinking with a friend

Nothing to show for nothing I've done
Someday I'll be a skeleton
Put me into the ground, let me reach for the sun

Drinking with a friend
