Prize

Well, we were talking and we were drinking



Letting the fat flow go



And we were asking and we were thinking



In the belly of a bar



It was easy almost indifferent



Until my heckles rise



What's that you're asking if I remember?



The pub walls are dissolving



The guilt was thin then, his hair long



Brown to match his eyes



It's none of your business what his name was



Would I even get a prize?



There's been a hundred and that's not boasting



Just the ways of this world



How dare he even ask this?



These pub walls are drowning



Your glass is empty just like your heard



It's these times I don't know you



And how about you can you remember?



You shake your head and say, "Drunk"



It's a small thing, why am I angry?



These words are signs of warning



Because behind them there's the implication



The pub is burning down



So do I get a prize for remembering that first time?



Do I get a prize for remembering his name?
