lyrics

Fire & Whiskey
Lyrics by P. Sailin Cutler & M. Lacombe

What happened that night if I could remember
I found myself wandering out on the streets
Then it started to rain when this man stood before me
His face was a shadow his deep voice said to me
“Where are you going”? I said mind your own business
I reached in my bag I had one can of Guinness
So I cracked her right open, she was done in one shot
I stepped in the bar and I ordered some shots of whiskey…

The man sat beside me and he looked in my eyes
I said why are you here? Then I was shocked and surprised
It was the devil in person with red scales for skin
“It’s been a long time, tell me how have you been”
I was speechless and afraid and I could barely move
No one could see him so I could not prove
But I swear that I saw him he was physically there
I was not yet drunk I was mentally scared
With a click from his fingers then the barmaid appeared
Then the devil he said “I’m ready for Fire and Whiskey”

Well sit by me lad and let’s drink this whiskey
Then fire will surround you and things will get freaky
But don’t be afraid, I’ve no need for your soul
I need you to sit, and to drink, and to feel bold
We’ve now one shot down, now lets have some more
The flames they’ll burn quicker, let’s get drunk then drink more
Then we’ll hit the streets and I’ll go out for more
But I’ll let you go home to that missus you adore

I was too drunk when I crawled in your bed
Cold skin and dreamless you’d think I was dead
Cause my eyes they were empty and my body felt weak
But my lungs were still breathing and my breath it smelled like whiskey
