Alabama Song
Journey to the Next Whisky Bar: Silica Gel's Poetic Quest
Lyrics
Oh, show us the way
Requesting guidance or direction
To the next whisky bar
Seeking the path to the next place serving whisky
Oh, don't ask why
Discouraging questions about the purpose or reason
Oh, don't ask why
Reiteration of discouraging questions
For we must find
Expressing necessity to locate the subsequent whisky establishment
The next whisky bar
Reiterating the need to find the next whisky bar
For if we don't find
Emphasizing consequences of not finding the next whisky bar
The next whisky bar
Reiterating the consequences of not finding the next whisky bar
I tell you we must die
Stressing the inevitability of death
I tell you we must die
Reiteration of the certainty of death
I tell you, I tell you
Further emphasis on the certainty of death
I tell you we must die
Reiteration of the inevitability of death
Oh, moon of Alabama
Addressing the moon while in Alabama
We now must say goodbye
Expressing farewell, departure from Alabama
We've lost our good old mama
Referring to the loss of a nurturing figure
And must have whisky, oh, you know why
Linking the loss to the need for whisky
Oh, moon of Alabama
Similar to line 16, bidding farewell to Alabama
We now must say goodbye
Reiterating departure from Alabama
We've lost our good old mama
Reiteration of losing a nurturing figure
And must have whisky, oh, you know why
Linking the loss to the need for whisky
Oh, show us the way
Requesting guidance or direction (now to find the next pretty boy)
To the next pretty boy
Seeking the path to the next attractive person
Oh, don't ask why
Discouraging questions about the purpose or reason
Oh, don't ask why
Reiteration of discouraging questions
For we must find
Expressing necessity to locate the subsequent attractive person
The next pretty boy
Reiterating the need to find the next pretty boy
For if we don't find
Emphasizing consequences of not finding the next pretty boy
The next pretty boy
Reiterating the consequences of not finding the next pretty boy
I tell you we must die
Stressing the inevitability of death
I tell you we must die
Reiteration of the certainty of death
I tell you, I tell you
Further emphasis on the certainty of death
I tell you we must die
Reiteration of the inevitability of death
Oh, moon of Alabama
Addressing the moon while in Alabama (repeated verse)
We now must say goodbye
Expressing farewell, departure from Alabama (repeated verse)
We've lost our good old mama
Referring to the loss of a nurturing figure (repeated verse)
And must have whisky, oh, you know why
Linking the loss to the need for whisky (repeated verse)
