Bright Eyes - Well Whiskey lyrics

I get my whiskey from a well
Except on holidays, then it's the top shelf
But tonight I don't mind if
I spend a little more
'Cause you are a tolerant woman and
The world is at war

I know you witnessed my decline
You used to push back the
Darkness like a floodlight
But tonight that is a secret like
The soul of a whore
That if you want to have fun
You'll just have to ignore

Now let my troubles solve themselves
I used to get involved but I'm just no help
But tonight let's pretend that we
Are just like we were
Let me stay until the morning I
Will sleep on the floor

And we can talk in circles, no dollar figures
Just what is owed or paid
And you can make predictions
I know you see the future and I agree
And we agree tonight's not happening

When I got dry as a desert I got mean
I was as lonely and empty as a canteen
With no anesthetic you are bound to be sore
But tonight I am drinking
All peaceful and warm

And just when I got fed up with that grey sky
The sun came out of nowhere like a bar fight
And it knocked out the wind and
It bruised me with light
And I felt grateful for living
Just like I feel tonight

But I know you feel safer in a group
Where you could be anyone or
They could be you
But tonight we'll take risks
That you can afford
You still have bars on your windows
And a hole in your door

So we can talk in circles
Around a dirty mirror
Night trickles down our throats
And we could make a timeline
To last our whole lives but we don't know -
But no one knows what's further up the road
Just wait and see, just wait and see
All in time, all in time
