Get My Demons Drunk

I have been asked to write lyrics for a few songs a friend wrote… these are the first ones… when they got it recorded may I can find a way to post it here.

Verse  1

 

Looking through the bottom of a glass

 Is like staring into the mirror of my past,

The clarity through a rum colored window

Brings focus to my wrinkles from living fast,

Losing the lady that should have been my lifeline

To endless good times not built to last.

 

Chorus

 

I’m gonna get my demons drunk

Till the devil has hell to pay

For haunting my memories

With mistakes he made my play.

 

Verse  2

 

Gone like the promises I tried to make

So far away to a place humans never see,

Forever regretting that she fell from grace

Caring enough to try and keep up with me,

Never again to feel the warmth of her soul

Heaven’s for angels and purgatory is where I’ll be.

 

Chorus

 

I’m gonna get my demons drunk

Till the devil has hell to pay

For haunting my memories

With mistakes he made my play.

 

Bridge 

 

100 proof intentions

Are a one way ticket

To eternal damnation,

But I have already

Damned myself

For digging her

Gin soaked grave.

 

Chorus

 

I’m gonna get my demons drunk

Till the devil pays his dues

For making me the prison

That will forever enslave her.

 

Bridge 2

 

Sorry my angel,

So sorry,

For being the devil

That tarnished

Your halo.

Awe shucks Julie. thank you, you flattered me and made me blush.

I was trying to think of lyricists to liken you to but you really you do have your own unique style...this is something that I think lends itself to all kinds of different genres but the devilish imagery does give it a bit of an old Delta blues feel...awesome work Dale.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Why thank you sir… glad to know my style is unique cause I do not want to be like anyone else.

[Bright Ocean Star]

This is an amazing song, Cowboy. I love the idea behind the work. I love the refrain "Gonna get my demons drunk"...that is a great, memorable line! I can't wait to hear this song performed. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well thank you, as I told others the words just came to me the moment I heard the song… I am hoping to find a way to put it on here after it is recorded.

What a beautifully eery song. I love the concept of getting your demons drunk. Such a concept to ponder. You should tell me your secret so I can do that same :P Thank you for sharing.

Thank you very much for the kind review.

[Coyote Poetry]

Very nice. Will be a very good song. The video could be very interesting. I roamed the taverns for almost 20 years. I like the bar and going to hell type songs. No weakness in the excellent poetry Frieda.

Thank you so kindly sir.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome.

[Marie]

Frieda is right. It has a good beat...you could dance to it...

Tarmishing an angel means an awful lot of years in Purgatory...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You are probably right Marie… as they say don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
