The Last Ten Years

The ferryman
Who takes me to my rest
He don’t give a damn
Who’s cursed or blessed
Anyway, I give him all my cash
I’m like some tragic hero
A lightning flash
Followed by a million zeros
I spent the last ten years, yeah
Trying to waste half an hour
Every drunk is that VIP
Who only lives inside a rope
Where they show you all the love
Make mine a bourbon and coke
I’m not lying, Mr. Ferryman
I always make it home
Though my house is built on sand
It ain’t worth the loan
I spent the last ten years, yeah
Trying to waste half an hour
So I had that real good time
And then in the dawn
I saw the bartender’s love
I saw it in a yawn
Mr. Ferryman
Do you party where you’re from?
Do you know where to go
When the party’s all done?
I never been to hell
But they got my number
I feel them squirm inside my shell
Praying for slumber
It must suck, Mr. Ferryman
To hear the vanities talk
About the lies they need
Just to walk the walk
I spent the last ten years, yeah
Trying to waste half an hour
I spent the last ten years, yeah
Trying to waste half an hour
