lyrics

Drinking away my pay that I slaved for working overtime
Wasting the sunny days swimming in a jug of red wine
(Red, red, wine)
My boss is always bitchin' saying there's booze on my breath
I laugh and say nice try but should've guessed just below my chest

Swaying through my midnight thoughts listening to these old busted rhymes
Tickling the ivory keys trying to write a tune that's bona-fide
(We'd love to turn you on)

No matter how hard I try I just can't win
maybe cause I only sing when pouring the gin
Scotch and radio magic tend to drive me insane
Jager bombs and techno music melting my brain
I got them hazy, drunken, musical, psychopath blues

Searching for my little lady who's hiding somewhere round town
Calling up the boys in blue asking if they'll check the lost and found
(Lost and now I'm found)

He asked what had happened the night that she left
Said she caught me pants down with her grandmother Beth.
Funky blues and vodka tend to drive me insane
Church hymns and communion wine is melting my brain
I got them hazy drunken musical psychopath blues.

The boys in blue are back with vengeance trying to nip me twice
They're piling on top of me one says I got a knife
So I kick and I spit and I fight and I scream don't you know I'm Jesus Christ

Tequila and Labamba man it drives me insane
Reggae and the ganja swerve are melting my brain
I got them hazy, drunken, musical, psychopath blues

Tripping out on LSD trying to soothe the demons in my mind
Butt-ass naked running a race and the joke is there's no finish line
(But time is on my side.)

No matter how hard I try I just can't win
Maybe cause I only sing when pouring the gin
Tequila and Labamba man it drives me insane
Reggae and the ganja swerve are melting my brain
I got them hazy, drunken, musical, psychopath blues.
