With a bottle in your hand
Try and quench the thirst of a drowning man
How do you stand?
On a pair of legs like rubber bands
You see you really are not free
Step aside from foolish pride
Build yourself a bridge to the other side

Don't come home from drinking
With heartache on your mind
And don't say you've been thinking
About us this time
Don't come here with roses
And breath that I can see
Expecting me to be thinking about anyone but me

Another aspirin down the chute
Another meatball flying through the hoop
I see the plan
Saving up your strength
To be the ham
You see, you really are not free
Step aside from foolish pride
Build yourself a bridge to the other side
