Story Behind the Song
The soft underbelly of every relationship I've stumbled into.
Lyrics
I got a little higher than my soap box, you let your hair down and I cut it off.
And you said to me, "Man, it's not you, it's just everything you do,
That pisses me off."
You stepped back and said, "You're never really sober."
I said, "Relax love, my liver's getting older than either of us,
It's bound to fail one day, I'll throw my vodka away when it does."
You don't have to make me choose. I love you more than booze,
But it loves me more than you.
You said, "You're killing yourself."
I said, "I know, but if I don't, no one else will. It's a hell of a way to go,
Painless and slow, there's always time to kill."
It's only my little murders. It's the only thing that's keeping me sane.
Tell me dear, is that something you really want to change.
