Turn Down the Lights

Turn the lights down low

place the vinyl and play it slow

It's gonna be a long night tonight

So pour a drink and stay a while. 

Tell me Captain--do you go down well with ice?

Or maybe better straight?

Tell me Jack--do you prefer the bottle?

Or is it all the same?

Burying my soul under the ground

heart beat just slowing down

reality kicks in on it's own,

Skyy, help me fill the hole. 

So tell me, Jameson, can we do this all night?

Hey, Jäger, there is no need to fight.

So, José, what's the worm for?

Just shoot it back and bring me more.

Sitting here makes me think,

Stopping that by having another drink.

There will be no tears falling in my cup

Hey bartender, fill it up!  

It's a slow dance with a slow song...

hey, Patrón, let's take your platinum for a ride

Then let's get naked at the beach

And get wet in the tide

 

 Turn the lights down

In the bottom of the glass is where I drown

It's gonna be a long night tonight

So pour a drink and stick around.
