Champagne when you celebrate
Wine just for the taste
Whiskey when you need to forget
And you have no time to waste
Beer when it’s hot and the work is done
Brandy when the nights turn cold
Rum on the beach fresh fruit within reach
Isopropyl when you're growing old
Scotch and whatever, black tie affairs
Vodka helps you play your role
But lying in the bed of an old pickup truck
Tequila... lets you visit your soul
Mistakes are born in sterile rooms...alone in isopropyl fumes
Beneath a spray of congratulations
Aware of darker connotations
Mistakes by fools who lose their gloves...fools in grade school, not in love
confirming all the allegations
Provoking late night altercations
These, mistakes not forgive: not put to bed like little fibs
No, you will grow to rue that day
when you realize what you walked away
from.
"91% Isopropyl Alcohol, College Love"
what at a wonderful CRIME...
putting something in my colorless, flammable chemical compound
thats used to treat wounds in my home
wash my face, rub it with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol
and what a NIGHTMARE....
my face starts to TWITCH...
just like when CARS DRIVE by and blow who knows what in my face...
i thought i was crazy but when i saw a man in a business suit
like a social worker, make a HORRIBLE look on his face
i new (knew) I'm NOT CRAZY!~
but i'm sure he'll keep his mouth shut...
you see it wouldn't do one bit of good
not ones going to do one little thing to help me...
smiling faces from colleges...
have fear, have mush fear...
