lyrics

At half past eight the ritual begins
That’s when the regulars roll on in
Drinking every night to escape their pain
Hiding the teardrops that fall like rain
The jukebox cries another lonesome tune
Drink another drink and bark at the moon

Mickey’s getting loaded on tonic and gin
Dousing all the fires that burn within
With a trembling hand he’ll raise his glass
But the clock keeps a ticking and the dies been cast
His day of reckoning it's coming soon
Until that happens he'll just bark at the moon

Diamond Bill likes whiskey, straight up, no ice
Though his life’s a mess he’ll give you advice
Never trust a woman, is what he says
But we know damn well why his woman left
Sweep it all away with a dusty broom
Drink another drink and bark at the moon

Sally likes her drinks sweet and smooth
She gets a little tipsy when she has a few
A damsel in distress on full display
Praying for her knight to take her away
Everybody knows she won’t be leaving too soon
She'll drink another drink and bark at the moon

Mirrors everywhere no place to hide
From the ghosts of the past that lurk inside
Leave it all behind if for just a while
With a shot and a beer and a hollow smile
Such is life in the smoke filled tomb
Have another drink and bark at the moon
