Lyrics

All The Stupid Things I Did While Drunk

Hurt everyone that I knew
Memories more old than new
Every night a sea in a fog
And mornings sick as a dog

Dismiss all that is right
Each debate an excuse for a fight
Lost my one true love
Not sure anymore just who she—or I — was

Closed up closed off
Closed down nodded off
I got hired I got fired
Got tired of the promise I so lacked

Do you know just how far I was gone
I passed out, but the devil never slept till dawn
My ship coming I sunk
All the stupid things I did while drunk

I lost friends, respect, myself
Saw a shrink it didn’t help
Crept in to the middle ages
Examined every loophole the lawyers gave me
But it was me, man and no one else
No one left to tell anyway

Closed up closed off
Closed down nodded off
I got hired I got fired
Got tired of the promise I so lacked

Do you know just how far I was gone
I passed out, but the devil never slept till dawn
My ship coming I sunk
All the stupid things I did while drunk

Hey buddy what were you thinkin’
I was too busy drinkin’ for thinkin’
But all the pieces of me that died
Well they had somewhere to hide

Closed up closed off
Closed down nodded off
I got hired I got fired
Got tired of the promise I so lacked

Do you know just how far I was gone
I passed out, but the devil never slept till dawn
My ship coming I sunk
All the stupid things I did while drunk

Hurt everyone that I knew
Memories more old than new
Every night a sea in a fog
And mornings sick as a dog
