Lyrics
Warms you up inside
Alcohol provides comfort internally
Soothes your wounded pride
Eases feelings of injured self-esteem
But your gold turns to lead
Wealth or success loses its value
As it goes to your head
Having an intoxicating effect on one's mind
And you cry
Expressing emotional pain through tears
Drunken tears once again, my friend
Recurring tears shed while intoxicated
So what if you're not the genius
Questioning one's perceived intelligence
You always thought you were?
Reflecting on a self-imposed belief of brilliance
Nobody hears the brilliant words
Personal thoughts or ideas go unnoticed
Between your ears
The gap between one's thoughts and expression
And you cry
Continued expression of emotional pain while intoxicated
Drunken tears once again, my friend
Repeated shedding of tears due to intoxication
Here's some ancient truth
Sharing an old, fundamental truth
Dredged up from your youth
Recalling something from earlier years
A voice from way back when
Hearing a voice from the past
Long lost love that might have been
Remembering a lost opportunity for love
And you cry
Repeated expression of emotional pain while intoxicated
Drunken tears once again, my friend
Continued shedding of tears due to intoxication
Go ahead, I don't mind your drunken tears
Permission or acceptance of the tears
