HOLD ON THERE, I KNOW AN OLD FRIEND IS CALLING
AND HE'LL TAKE ALL THE LOAD OFF
AND IT'S NO SURPRISE, ALL THE WEAR SPOTS WERE SHOWING
YOU'RE BRITTLE LIKE A LEAF

CHORUS:
ASK THE BARTENDER
ASK THE POET
ASK THE BAKER
OR YOU COULD JUST ASK ME

OCCUPY ALL THE SOFT SPOTS WITH ANGER
SOON IT'S READY FOR COMPOST
AND IT'S CRUEL SUPPORT, ALL SQUARE EDGES AND DANGER
ROLL THE WHOLE THING IN GREASE

CHORUS:
ASK THE MILKMAN
ASK YOUR SISTER
ASK THE COSSACK
OR YOU COULD JUST ASK ME


HOLD ON GIRL, ARE YOU TIRED OF EMOTION?
BURNED FOR THE LAST TIME?
FROM A BOTTLE POUR, ALL YOUR ANSWERS ARE FLOWING
AND YOUR LIFE FLOWS AWAY

CHORUS:
ASK YOUR LOVER
ASK YOUR DRUMMER
ASK THE PREACHER
OR YOU COULD JUST ASK ME
ASK THE POET
ASK THE BARTENDER
ASK YOUR FATHER
OR YOU COULD JUST ASK ME
