Breaking the Camel's Back Lyrics

I had been drinking all day

I had been drinking all night

I had been drinking avoiding all thinking

And thinking of something in spite

In spite of the lessons I've learn

In spite of the lessons I've taught

I met you again and we answered a yen

Then I left saying forget me not

I looked at the lady in red

I looked at the lady in blue

I looked at the lady who was looking so shady

And all I could think of was you

I asked her to close out my tab

I looked at the lady in black

Awe but that was the straw in the drink at the bar

That finally broke the camel's back

Hump

Hump

A hundred days without water

Hump

Hump

Doing the things that I oughta

Hump

Hump

All I could think of was you

And that was the straw in the drink at the bar

That finally broke this camel in two

I had been trying to sleep

I had been trying to dream

I had been trying and girl I'm not lying

But things aren't the way that they seem

A fantasy entered my mind

A fantasy blew up in smoke

A fantasy lingered and no one was fingered

I thought it was some kind of joke

My pillow beat into my fist

My pillow beat into my heart

My pillow was beating my thoughts wouldn't cheat

And somehow we weren't even apart

A vision of teddy bear trains

Pierre and a comfy haystack

Awe but that was the straw in the drink at the bar

That finally broke the camel's back

Hump

Hump

A hundred days without water

Hump

Hump

Doing the things that I oughta

Hump

Hump

All I could think of was you

And that was the straw in the drink at the bar

That finally broke this camel in two

Hump

Hump

A hundred days without water

Hump

Hump

Doing the things that I oughta

Hump

Hump

All I could think of was you

And that was the straw in the drink at the bar

That finally broke this camel in two

All I could think of was you

And that was the straw in the drink at the bar

That finally broke this camel in two

After all of the years the exhaustion and beers

I'm far too in love to attack

I guess that was the straw in the drink at the bar

That finally broke this camel's back
