A Skull, A Suitcase, And a Long Red Bottle of Wine

And in the evening when you fade away

The same thing happens every single day

'Cause when your dreams come true they pretty soon decay



There's nothing you can do to change your mind

You're disappearing or you're going blind

And when you're gone there won't be anything behind



Except a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine

A skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine



You're disappearing in a purple fog

It's a machine and you're its faithful cog

You love your woman but you just don't love her dog



Which means you get a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine

A skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine



There you go putting up no resistance

You just wander off through the town

Lock yourself out and drown

But when you're gone, does it make any difference

If there's nobody else around?

The only way up is down



The giant sun sets red behind the haze

Like a balloon that has just lost its way

You never dreamed that stuff would get you in its sway



Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine

Gimme a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine



Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine

Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine

Red bottle of wine

Red bottle of wine

Red bottle of wine

Red bottle of wine

Red bottle of wine

Red bottle of wine

Red bottle of wine
