Elvis Costello - Down Among The Wine And Spirits lyrics

Down among the wines and spirits Where a man gets what he merits... Once it was written in letters 'bout nine feet tall Now he sees how far he's fallen Since he set his mind on her completely But then I guess that you couldn't have seen him lately Walking around with a pain that just never ceases He starts to speak and then he goes to pieces... Down among the wines and spirits Where a man gets what he merits... Lives with the echoing words of their final quarrel The vacant chamber The empty barrel But as he picks himself up from a sawdust floor Clicks his fingers to that swinging door Suddenly he's calling out, "More, more, more..." "I'm twice the foolish man I was before..." Down among the wines and spirits Bubbles escaping from him at the rim a gla** of grape She sails through his memory just like a ship of shapely And then as it started sink he drowns his sorrows That fill his nights and empty tomorrows But as he picks himself up from a sawdust floor Clicks his fingers to that swinging door Suddenly he's calling out, "More, more, more..." Speaks of invisible things he hardly credits Down among Down among the wines and spirits
