I'm broken hearted with all that this entails
It takes some concentrated drinking to keep me on the rails

I have to hide my face, I have to hide my shame
I don't wait til I'm sober til I get [bad word] again

I drink at home, I drink out
I drink in [bad word] bars
Falling down, seeing stars

It suits me, it suits me
Falling apart in Mars
I like to suffer for my art
Just one more before we part

My oh my, we [bad word] It's only heavy drinking
That keeps us on our feet
And my oh my, we [bad word] If it weren't for heavy drinking
We'd never play Sweet Jane

And my my my my, the days go by
I'll never quite forget her
But goodness how I try

Believe me
Believe me
Going astray
When all the bars from here to Mandelay
They never close, we never pay

Don't like to think about how much I drink
It's a habit that's out of control
Oh yeah, hope I never get dry before I get old

Well my oh my, we [bad word] It's only heavy drinking
That keeps us on our feet
And my oh my, we [bad word] If it weren't for heavy drinking
We'd never play Sweet Jane

My my my my, the days go by
I'll never quite forget her
But goodness how I try

Believe me, believe me
Falling apart in Mars
I like to suffer for my art
Just one more before we part

Don't like to think about how much I drink
It's a habit that's out of control
Oh yeah, hope I never get dry
Hope I never get dry now
Hope I never get dry before I get old
