2:00 Am
2:00 AM
One last drink
A glass half filled with ice
Golden liquid with the bite of a dragon
That glass has destroyed a million dreams
It has made even the lamest idea sound like genius
It has made even the nicest man curse
I was warned about starting a drink at 2:00 AM
It is always the strongest of the night
You may never know what you did
You may end up in bed with what’s her name
You may just end up in jail for the night
There is one thing that every man has taught me
One piece of wisdom that has saved the planet
If you are in a crowded bar look carefully at the clock
Study the hands and where they are
Beware the hour of two
Order your last drink before the cock crows twice
You may survive the night
You may not remember what happened
You may still end up in jail
But just remember what I say
Nothing good ever happens after 2:00 AM
