LOU REED - The Last Shot lyrics

rate me

Last shot sure killed me

pour another drink

Let's drink to the last shot

and the blood on the dishes in the sink

Blood inside the coffee cup

blood on the table top

But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish

that you knew it was your last shot

When you quit, you quit, but you always wish

that you knew it was your last shot

I shot blood at the fly on the wall

my heart almost stopped hardly there at all

I broke the mirror with my fall, with my -

- Fall-fall-fall

fall-fall-fall

Gimme a double, give yourself one two

gimme a short beer, one for you too

And a toast to everything that doesn't move

that doesn't move

But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish

that you knew it was your last shot

When you quit, you quit, but you always wish

that you knew it was your last shot

Whiskey, bourbon, vodka and scotch

I don't care what it is you've got

I just want to know that it's my last shot

My last shot

I remember when I quit pretty good

see this here, this is where I chipped my tooth

Shot of vein in my neck and I coughed up a Quaalude

On my last shot

my last shot

Here's a toast to all that's good

and here's a toast to hate

And here's a toast to toasting and I'm not boasting

When I say I'm getting straight

when I say I'm getting straight

But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish

that you knew it was your last shot

When you quit, you quit, but you always wish

that you knew it was your last shot
