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 head

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

Do I get a prize

Do I get a prize for remembering that first time

Do I get a prize

Do I get a prize

Do I get a prize for remembering his name?
