Water Instead of Beer Lyrics

I've lost my peace of mind, if you find it please be kind

It's not used to all this violence lust and greed

I've lost my inner self; someone stashed him on a shelf

In a storeroom where the rabid creatures feed

I found another train, to carry me to Spain

Across the mountains that they call the Pyrenees

I stumbled into town holding someone's wedding gown

Then tripped and fell down useless on my knees

She pulled me to my feet and asked me to compete

For status power influence and cash

Every sympathetic strain in my tired pathetic brain

Saw a vision of a train about to crash

What is special, what is not, what is lukewarm what is hot

What is cold is sold at auction for a song

What is good and what is just is just something you can't trust

And its smiles are just illusions of the dawn

With a magic sampled bliss we were talking just like this

And she opened up her walls so strong and thin

I never should have left because it seems that now she's deaf

And though I knock till out of breath I can't get in

If you see her tell her this, I remember every kiss

Every sultry little hiss she let me hear

From the edges of her mouth flying north from somewhere south

The night she brought me a glass of water instead of beer
