lyrics

Whiskey and triple gin, got me in a mess again
When the jukebox ran out of my tunes
So went down to the Village Greene,
Where I could feel the grass beneath my feet
As I sang at the top of my lungs
All the songs I thought should be sung

I sampled American Pie, paid homage to Sweet Caroline
And took Rosie down old Thunder Road
Thought of that Sweet Child O' Mine, as I belted Drunken Lullabies
And the prayer that we're livin' on.
And the songs, flowed one into the next

So raise your voices: oh-a-oh, oh-a-oh
And tip you glasses: lie, lie-la-lie
Shout from the rooftops: na, na-na, na na na
Oh-a-oh, lie-la-lie la-lie

The police, they came rushing in,
with their nightsticks and testosterone,
and told me to hush up and hurry home.
But I borrowed from NWA, said “Fuck the Police” in their face
then rightly, they silenced me.
And the night for me it was done.

I woke up in a lonely cell, where solitude is worse than hell
So I gave the Devil his due

(And) I sold my soul for a sturdy beat, and lyrics that could carry me
Way back to happier days
Back to when we all the sang refrains

So he summoned the Piano Man, lit me up a cigarette
And poured Whiskey in the Jar
And as the ants came marchin' in, a Tiny Dancer gave a grin
Before she Shook Me All Night Long
As we sang, the songs that should be sung


So raise your voices: oh-a-oh, oh-a-oh
And tip you glasses: lie, lie-la-lie
Shout from the rooftops: na, na-na, na na na
Oh-e-oh, lie-la-lie la-lie (2x)

As the sun it came shinin’ in, the Devil came to collect
The soul I had promised him
But I told him he was far too late, cause I sold it back in ‘98
For a Brown-Eyed Girl named Sue
But that Devil, I think, already knew
Yeah that Devil, think he already knew

So raise your voices: oh-a-oh, oh-a-oh
And tip you glasses: lie lie-la-lie
Shout from the rooftops: na, na-na, na-na-na
Oh-a-oh, lie-la-lie la-lie (3x)
