The Sadness In Your Life Will Slowly Fade

The sadness in our lives, my friend,

will slowly fade away.

But until time works it's magic

we must struggle through the day.

How long must we be transient,

unwanted, and astray.

From sorrow how long must we flee?

But the night will be much kinder

and accept us as we are.

And treat us with impunity

when we have gone too far.

Forgive all our shortcomings,

and meet us at the bar.

Happiness for a small fee

And the dawn may bring it's demons,

and may blind us with it's truth.

As we vomit last nights fun

to find another loosened tooth.

Clinging on to toilet seats,

and clinging on to youth.

Can you hear the creak of my weak knee

But let's not be too hard on us,

let's revel in this joy.

Which may be gone tomorrow

so let's stop being coy.

I know outside you're greying,

but inside you're still a boy.

And you have a brother in me.

So raise a glass to friendship,

don't forget to bring the pills.

We've drank, and fought,

and ****** our way up many love-lone hills

On our quest for ever deeper love

and ever cheaper thrills

Is this how it feels to be free?
