Black Lagoon

I pour my brain into a can

And beer swamps my mind

Turning me from a man

Into something less defined

An open wound

With raw emotions bleeding forth

The night becomes a swamp

As the brew takes its course

I'm falling down into

A black lagoon

Pour me a pint of my best friend

And set them up again.

A melancholy anger weeps

In shadows of lost hope

The mutant climbs inside my eyes

And sanity is soaked.

The taste is sweet and satisfies

A midnight afternoon

I am sinking slowly

In the potion's black lagoon

I'm falling down into

A black lagoon

Pour me a pint of my best friend

And set them up again.

Pour me a glass of cold dark beer

And don't ask me to smile at you, my dear

There's no answer in the bottle

However hard I look

There's no wisdom in that cocktail

However hard it's shook
