Old Lace Song Lyrics
Old Lace by Sarah and the Safe Word [Chorus]
Pour me a fifth of Old Lace
Give me the strongest stuff you got
I need to feel something again
Before they use me all up
Pour me a fifth of Old Lace
Some Paris Green on the rocks
I used to be somebody but I guess I just forgot
(One two three four!)
[Verse 1]
I wish they'd drop the bomb, I’m wearing thin
And if I'm drowning in my sorrows, I say bathe in them
Falling out of my circadian
Lord bless me with a sleepless night again
[Chorus]
Pour me a fifth of Old Lace
Give me the strongest stuff you got
I need to feel something again
Before they use me all up
Pour me that fifth of Old Lace
Some Paris Green on the rocks
I used to be somebody but I guess I just forgot
[Verse 2]
Well, to the youth in the gasoline lines
(Troubles, they won't last long)
And to the barons of the broken opera
(You will sing your last song)
Let them go to their boring heaven
We will dance and we’ll dine in hell
[Chorus]
Pour me a fifth of Old Lace
Give me the strongest stuff you got
I need to feel something again
Before they use me all up
Pour me a fifth of Old Lace
Some Paris Green on the rocks
I used to be somebody but I guess I just forgot
I used to be somebody but I guess I just forgot
Alright, tell 'em!
[Bridge]
Pour me that fifth of Old Lace, whoa whoa
Make it the strongest stuff you've got, whoa whoa
(Make it a double!)
[Chorus]
Pour me a fifth of Old Lace
Give me the strongest stuff you got
I need to feel something again
Before they use me all up
Give me that fifth of Old Lace
Paris Green on the rocks
I used to be somebody but I guess I just forgot
I used to be somebody but I guess I just forgot
I used to be somebody but I guess I just forgot
