Repentant
Don't buy me a drink
With alcohol
I don't heed a wink
'Cause I drank a whole
Lotta booze in my past
When I was sad and dumb
But now what I want
Is a ginger tea
It will keep me warm
And fidgety
It will help me last
For many songs to come
You ask me why
I'm abstinent
Given my cold life
And nasty pants
I tell you that
I still have a ground to stand
You'd expect some cult
To be holding me
But assumption is null
And void, I mean
You don't need a God
to be a repentant man
Don't pass me a joint
To smoke with you
I reached to the point
In my wanky youth
When memory loss
Became an imposing threat
But I need to remember
The lyrics mate
And the best of my jam
Flows in sober state
So why don't you toss
A coin to me instead
You ask me why
I'm abstinent
Given my cold life
And nasty pants
I tell you that
I still have a ground to stand
You'd expect some cult
To be holding me
But assumption is null
And void, I mean
You don't need a God
to be a repentant man
Erik Satie
Complained about
The wrong sort of tips
He got in the bars
Nobody ever fed
Him a sandwich, they gave
Him only booze
But you can be wiser
Than this poor man's fans
And I don't criticize you
For no sandwiches
Just please don't give bad
Things that enslave
Me... For I'm on the loose!
You ask me why
I'm abstinent
Given my cold life
And nasty pants
I tell you that
I still have a ground to stand
You'd expect some cult
To be holding me
But assumption is null
And void, I mean
You don't need a God
to be a repentant man
You don't need a faith
to be a repentant man
You don't need a cult
to be a repentant man
