so much wine

So Much Wine - The Handsome Family
I had nothing to say on Christmas Day

When you threw all your clothes in the snow

When you burnt your hair, knocked over chairs
I just tried to stay out of your way

But when you fell asleep

With blood on your teeth

I got in my car and drove away

Listen to me, butterfly

There's only so much wine

You can drink in one life

But it will never be enough

To save you from the bottom of your glass

Where the state highway starts

I parked my car

I got out and stared up at the stars

As meteors dived and shot across the sky

I thought about your sad, shining eyes

I came back for my clothes
When the sun finally rose

But you were still passed out on the floor

Listen to me, butterfly

There's only so much wine

You can drink in one life

But it will never be enough

To save you from the bottom of your glass
