[Lyric] Coffee Dogs (Kevin Quain)

We'll no more dance
We'll no more sing
These bitter days will clip your wings
Our brilliant friends have all gone south
Now, no more diamonds will come falling from my mouth

For there's no champagne here
For there's no chandeliers
I'm getting used to seeing paler colours everywhere
But I’ll ride that wagon with you
Until the sorry end
Looks like you and me are coffee dogs, again

So cheers, my dear
We'll just hold hands
Sit in the dark and watch the dance
This bottled charm could never last
But I’ll bet you fifty I still make you laugh

For there's no champagne here
For there's no chandeliers
I'm getting used to seeing paler colours everywhere
But I’ll ride that wagon with you
Until the sorry end
Looks like you and me are coffee dogs, again
[epic solo]

Don't say a word, I don't give a damn
I'm just a ten-cent firecracker
Going off in a garbage can
A little prince of misery
Now, I wonder what the hell you ever saw in me

Now, all those old familiar places seem so stupid and so cruel
The horns don't scream, the drums don't kick quite like they used to do
One of these days, we'll just quit quittin'
But for now, let's just pretend
That you and me are coffee dogs, again

Looks like you and me are coffee dogs, again
Looks like you and me are coffee dogs, again
