[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I feel the city breathe at night beneath the stars and neon lights
And I've got nothing to lose

[Pre-Chorus]
Drink up, drink up, drink up the loneliness
Drink up, drink up, drink up the loneliness

[Verse 2]
The streets outside, they burn with life, but I am dead on the inside
I think these pills are to blame

[Pre-Chorus]
Drink up, drink up, drink up the loneliness
Drink up, drink up, drink up the loneliness

[Chorus]
And I've got romantic ideas
But they're not meant for you
And my bed's filled with black roses
To show that our love is through

[Verse 3]
I hope the fire licks my lips and pulls me close against her hips
This town will go down in flames

[Pre-Chorus]
Drink up, drink up, drink up the loneliness
Drink up, drink up, drink up the loneliness

[Chorus]
And I've got romantic ideas
But they're not meant for you
And my bed's filled with black roses
To show that our love is through

[Bridge]
Like a broken mirror, they're pieces of me
Like a broken mirror, they're pieces of me
They're pieces of me, they're pieces of me now

[Outro]
Drink up, drink up, drink up the loneliness
Drink up, drink up, drink up my lonely
Drink up my lonely
Drink up
Drink up the loneliness!
