Blue Bottle Blues

Pine pitch, turpentine
Don’t drink poison, baby, better drink wine
Solvent, acetone
Mind you mind the bottle with the skull and bones
You got the blue bottle blues when you wake up in the night
Don’t make a big mistake 'cause you can never make it right
When you reach out for the vial, feel the ridges in the glass
It’s a matter of survival, better watch your back
Powder, arsenic
Spoonful in your cocoa gonna make you sick
Strychnine, cyanide
Keeps on getting harder simply stayin' alive
You got the blue bottle blues when you wake up in the night
Don’t make a big mistake 'cause you can never make it right
When you reach out for the vial, feel the ridges in the glass
It’s a matter of survival, better watch your back
When it’s time for you to go
Like Juliet or Romeo
There is something you should know
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
Bootleg alcohol
Toxic or intoxicating, who can tell?
Almond, bitter taste
Swallow down your medicine, it leaves no trace
Morphine, rest your head
What was that precaution that the doctor said?
Foul play, accident
Watch out for your loved ones and self
You got the blue bottle blues when you wake up in the night
Don’t make a big mistake 'cause you can never make it right
When you reach out for the vial, feel the ridges in the glass
It’s a matter of survival, baby, better watch your back
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
There is no, no antidote
