《The Bitter Cup》歌词

[00:00:00] The Bitter Cup - Billy Childs

[00:00:05] And I remember the breath of my father

[00:00:10] His kisses were bearded and damp

[00:00:16] The remnants of the bottle draggin' him down

[00:00:21] To awaken disheveled in the tank

[00:00:25] There's no sea deeper than the peace of the bottle

[00:00:30] And none speaks the truth like the drunk

[00:00:34] Whiskey runs through me like a sorrowful river

[00:00:39] I'm down on my knees and

[00:00:41] I'm sunk

[00:00:44] I remember my mother hittin' the gin

[00:00:48] She fell and we thought she was dead

[00:00:53] Naked and doe like

[00:00:55] Her skull face was shattered

[00:00:58] We ran to our room painted red

[00:01:02] There's no sea deeper

[00:01:04] Than the peace of the bottle

[00:01:07] And none speaks the truth like the drunk

[00:01:12] Whiskey runs through me like a sorrowful river

[00:01:16] I'm down on my knees and

[00:01:18] I'm sunk

[00:01:21] Hot for women we curse and abuse them

[00:01:25] They say we ain't got no respect

[00:01:29] Full of bravado godless and fearful

[00:01:33] We pray no one will detect

[00:01:37] There's no sea deeper

[00:01:40] Than the peace of the bottle

[00:01:43] And none speaks the truth like the drunk

[00:01:47] Whiskey runs through me like a sorrowful river

[00:01:51] I'm down on my knees and

[00:01:53] I'm sunk

[00:01:55] There's no taste sweeter

[00:01:57] Than the rush of hot vomit

[00:02:00] Sieved through decaying back teeth

[00:02:04] I'd whisper

[00:02:05] I love you and quit all this hatin'

[00:02:09] But in truth I ain't got the belief

[00:02:15] There's no sea deeper

[00:02:17] Than the peace of the bottle

[00:02:20] And none speaks the truth like the drunk

[00:02:24] Whiskey runs through me like a sorrowful river

[00:02:28] I'm down on my knees and I'm sunk

[00:02:32] Smashed and disheveled

[00:02:34] Of course they did wreck us

[00:02:38] Poisoned by our own bitter cup

[00:02:42] Stumbling and hoping

[00:02:46] Inside I was lonely

[00:02:49] I'm sick and I'm down and I'm drunk

[00:02:54] There's no sea deeper

[00:02:56] Than the peace of the bottle

[00:02:59] And none speaks the truth like the drunk

[00:03:04] Whiskey runs through me like a sorrowful river

[00:03:08] I'm down on my knees and I'm drunk
