One drink of whisky, one drink of gin   One drink of vodka and I told my friends   Things don't seem quite like they used to   As reality leaves, so does the blues   One toke of reefer, a little cocaine   One shot of morphine and things begin to change   Things don't seem quite like they used to   As reality leaves, so does the blues   Up around here, back down again   I've been up on top, don't bother, my friend   Things don't seem quite like they used to   As reality leaves, so does the blues
