Lyrics
DRUNK AT THE BILTMORE It was Thursday, the Budha was filled to the brim With a hint of The Ramblers rising up from the din So we ambled outside for some air and some room When we was struck by the smell of poison ivy in bloom They were drunk at the Biltmore again They’d come seekin solace, found Guiness instead Now they’re drunk at the Biltmore again There was a band out in front and their bass shook the ground Playin covers I’d hated the first time around But there weren’t no one listenin but me and my friends They were all workin madly on their means to their ends Gettin drunk at the Biltmore again They’d come seekin solace, found Guiness instead Now they’re drunk at the Biltmore again The girl in the corner, she was gone past her years Those champagne eyes with bubbles comin’ out through her ears She stood up and sat down and stood up again As I watched, from my perch, the mating dance of the damned She was drunk at the Biltmore again She’d come seekin solace found cheap love instead Now she’s drunk at the Biltmore again There was nice folks and mean folks and some folks we weren’t sure So we asked ‘em how they felt about the Australian War One ignored, one laughed, one said “All wars are bad” I agreed and bought a Foster’s for that studious lad He was drunk at the Biltmore again He’d come seeking solace found Foster’s instead Now he’s drunk at the Biltmore again I was young once and wild, had my follies and all Cause you got to learn how to run ‘fore you learn how to crawl And life ain’t all roses, cause roses ain’t fun We got drunk fairly often, we just never got dumb Like they was at the Biltmore again They’d come seeking something, found nothing instead They’re just drunk at the Biltmore again Copyright 2001.
