Drinking With Elliott

Here in St. Ides Heaven,
Knocking back anti-reality,
Bottle after bottle,
I become immortal

And while I ascend,
The Invisible Man plays,
Smiling with his ugly face,
And I tell him that he's good

As the world roars below,
With chaotic complexity,
I'm glad he's here with me,
To share a simple tune.
