D.T.'s empty stare and body shiver Whisky - need a shot to stop the quiver I've been here for days or minutes Where is here? I couldn't tell Somewhere on the outer limits Pretty close, I guess, to hell
Hazy names and places Foggy memory
Help me - Mister, can you spare a dollar? Need a drink before I start to holler Seedy bars is where I hang out Crawling up the Strip at night Dodging tabs and seeking spenders Passing out or starting fights It's a way of living In the underworld
[Chorus:] Close to the edge - Barfly Ready to fall Walking the ledge - Barfly Nothing or all Playing your part - Barfly Searching... Barfly
Barrooms - stench of beer, the smell of losers Lowlifes - aging whores and senile boozers We're a family of zombies But a family nonetheless Gotta hang on to each other When your life's a filthy mess
Fighting for survival Fighting loneliness
[Chorus]
Way out - got a choice, I'm not a dumb one Create - write a book and be a someone Memoirs of life in Hades Always very popular In those intellectual circles Barfly turns to cult-scene start
Sleaze can be attractive Viewed from safer shores
