The Everclear Made Me Do It
---------------------------

( Lyrics Copyright © 2000 Anthony J. Garot )

I tried to find an alibi but...
There aren’t any.
Looking for belief in the midst of...
All I should be.
I drank alone to forget,
I didn’t even notice,
My life was gone.

I sought for my soul in a bottle,
But it can’t be seen.
Another night with only Jack Daniels,
If you know what I mean.
When you over do it,
You might just find that
You can’t go home.

I found a message in a bottle,
That I couldn’t read!
It painted a portrait of my black heart,
From all my bad deeds.
Worshipping the magic bottle,
Losing one’s self and spirit,
And dying alone.

I was only seeking of my lost youth,
But it won’t be found.
I was caught by the genie in the bottle,
And there I was bound.
Folly will not be silent,
If you choose to fight her,
She’ll win the day!
