Intro and Chorus:

AGnd theD7 band plGayed on

AGs the C5helicoptDers whirred

DCrunk on the laA7wn in a nucleaGr dawnEm

MGy sensesD finally Gblurred

Verse

HD7e was a roGck, to the endC5 a solid reminder G

CAmouldn't dD7eny a friend

WD7e lived in the noGise and the sweC5et amber posiGon

PBmeekin' up the skirt of the enCd

AD7nd we'd drGink, twoC5 gnarly dudes and some recoGrds

MAmuch like plates oD7f black food

WD7e filled up our faGces, sawC5 some far placGes

SBmtood on the roof in the nuCde D7

Chorus

Verse

Between poles, he said "we're like cows in the grass"

Brushing off flies

Chaise lounging around standing up, falling down

'Till we no longer opened our eyes

And we'd drink, ever notice how drinking's like war

Cup 'o' troops o'er the gums

To the end of our health a campaign 'gaisnt myself

Armed with bourons and scotches and rums

Chorus

Verse

Think of bombs, we're poised on the edge of disaster

Whether it's right or it's wrong

We opened the window, played some Nintendo

Sang a few bars of some pretty old song:

G C IGrene goodnigDht, IreGne goodnight

G GoodG7night IrenCe goodnight Irene

G ID7'll see Gyou in my D7dreams

Oh to dream, those impotent bones of extinction

Flying graceful and free

None but the best cause the man cannot rest

'Till he's finally beaten his me

Chorus

Verse

'Till the end, he passed out on the sun deck that morning

Quietly saying goodbye

But I was so hammered I sputtered and stammered

Told him he couldn't just die

He was a rock, went straight for his own armageddon

Face froze in a grin

Ambulance flyin' in I never drank again

Can't really call that a loss or a win
