Robert Ellis - Bottle of Wine lyrics

rate me

Bottle of wine and a bag of cocaine

You’re on my mind as I drive home in the rain

I’m reminded again of some familiar yesterday

Cheers to old times, raise a glass to the pain

I hope that you’ll alright but it seems not much is changed

You are buying a round for everybody at the bar

You are painting the town with your daddy’s credit card

All these things you must do to keep from going insane

Up and then down, a chill, nothing remains

Sand through an hourglass on its last grains

Only now that it’s over I know who to blame

A bottle of wine and a bag cocaine

In this lonely apartment in a cloud of regret

I go through the same old argument to reminisce or to forget

I find acceptance so fleeting unless it’s coursing through my veins

If my heart is still beating, if in my sleep I’ve not chocked

Come over tonight and won’t you bring along some smokes?

We can put on a record and I can fill your head with lies

We get so sentimental but it’s only lust in disguise

It’s so hard to extinguish such an old familiar flame

We go up and then down until nothing remains

Sand through an hourglass on its last grains

Only now that it’s over I know who to blame

A bottle of wine and a bag of cocaine

A bottle of wine and a bag of cocaine
