"Chicken" lyrics

He said, "this ain't me, but I gotta eat
And feed my kid, y'know this place ain't cheap
You can saint or damn me but I don't care
Don't condemn me, don't commend me now"

Another round, his guts spill out
Turns out his ships run aground
And my head just swims around

So pour another, it's 3 AM, oh god, this is insane
And it's killing me, it's killing me
I know, I know I walked away but it's you I'll always blame
And it's killing me
If my liver swells up and spills out on the floor
I'll nail it to your door

Don't be cheap, I've been discreet
And all these victories have been bittersweet
We both made our beds, you just messed the sheets
Don't condemn me, don't condemn me now

"I took my bow, I know that now
I just can't remember how
We made these grapes turn so sour"

So pour another, it's 4 AM, oh my god, this is insane
And it's killing me, it's killing me
You're the one that ran away and attached yourself to chains
And now it's killing me
If your heart swells up and spills out on the floor
I'd let it go
I'd let it go

Surprise, surprise, I'm here
A three beer buzz has got the best of you again
You've torn out what's left of my faith in you
I guess I'm too old to pretend

Surprise, surprise, I'm here
A three beer buzz has got the best of you again
You've torn out what's left of my faith in you
I guess I'm too old to pretend
