Bad Liquor

Who took the good out of the bottle
Salt water, salt water
----
The moon, that moon
It's the saddest bugger of them all
Bad liquor, bad liquor
At the bottom of niagara falls
Bad liquor, bad liquor
It's pulling my strings tonight
Salt water, salt water
There's nothing that I do right
And all you people, you people
You're the luckiest people of all
Bad liquor, bad liquor
At the bottom of niagara falls
Bad liquor, bad liquor
It's pulling my strings tonight
Salt water, salt water
There's nothing that I do right
