Drunk for a Penny


One desire desire of you
Drunk for a penny
Dead drunk for two

Dead eyed serpents and gypsy love
Fit the hand like a glove
Between my finger and thumb
Held together snug as a gun

When the day's are uneasy
And the dark gets darker still
I hold onto dear life
I think of you

Let yourself go
Drink your fill
Drunk for a penny
Dead drunk for two

One desire desire of you
Drunk for a penny
Dead drunk for two

Days are uneasy
Cry out from the blue
A Spider spin flies
I think of you
I think of you

Between a finger and thumb
The tall glass rests
The world waltzes its waltz
The whisky does the rest

Let yourself go
Drink your fill
Drunk for a penny
Dead drunk for two

Let yourself go
Drink your fill
Drunk for a penny
Dead drunk for two

One desire desire of you
Drunk for a penny
Dead drunk for two
