I'm broken hearted with all that this entails It takes some concentrated drinking to keep me on the rails I have to hide my face, I have to hide my shame I don't wait til I'm sober til I get drunk again I drink at home, I drink out I drink in co*ktail bars Falling down, seeing stars It suits me, it suits me Falling apart in Mars I like to suffer for my art Just one more before we part My oh my, we can't compete It's only heavy drinking That keeps us on our feet And my oh my, we can't complain If it weren't for heavy drinking We'd never play Sweet Jane And my my my my, the days go by I'll never quite forget her But goodness how I try Believe me Believe me Going astray When all the bars from here to Mandelay They never close, we never pay Don't like to think about how much I drink It's a habit that's out of control Oh yeah, hope I never get dry before I get old Well my oh my, we can't compete It's only heavy drinking That keeps us on our feet And my oh my, we can't complain If it weren't for heavy drinking We'd never play Sweet Jane My my my my, the days go by I'll never quite forget her But goodness how I try Believe me, believe me Falling apart in Mars I like to suffer for my art Just one more before we part Don't like to think about how much I drink It's a habit that's out of control Oh yeah, hope I never get dry Hope I never get dry now Hope I never get dry before I get old
