the jukebox has been drinking
the bartender is a recovering alcoholic
and the band has slept it off tonight
the stripper is lonelier than me
the telephone has cried all night
and the old man wants back his youth
the bouncer is a pacifist
and the butcher claims to be a vegan
the barstools wont stop spinning
the waitress is struggling with social anxiety
the receeding hairline is falling
the beer mugs are getting taller
and the beer is getting shorter
the gambler is flat broke
asking for a dime to spare
the clock stopped at half passed the hour
and the tv is barking out Patsy Cline
the bar is getting softer
longer and more like a bed should be
and the broken heart is growing numb
the jukebox has been drinking
