Top Shelf - Brendan Hines

Rolling broke and disgusted through the canyons of wealth

Everything I swallow threatens my health

I’ll stop one day I promise to myself

I’ll stretch until it hurts but I’ll reach the top shelf

All my money goes into my mouth

One way or another and it won’t come out

There’s nothing in my pocket but there used to be gold

A good bartender does what she’s told

Top shelf I think that I should

The bottles may be dusty but the insides may be good

Top shelf come into the light

If I don’t recognize you, you’re gonna be shot on sight

The cops get more courageous I get more depressed

I don’t speak her language so I frequently guess

They wonder all about her from the east to the west

Is she demonically or just self-possessed?

Don’t take away my beverages

I need those for drinking

Don’t break apart my head tonight

I’m gonna need that to do some thinking

Top shelf I think that I should

The bottles may be dusty but the insides may be good

Top shelf come into the light

If I don’t recognize you, you’re gonna be shot on sight

Rolling broke and disgusted through the canyons of wealth

Everything I swallow threatens my health

I’ll stop one day I promise to myself

I’ll stretch until it hurts but I’ll reach the top shelf

I think that I should

The bottles may be dusty but the insides may be good

Top shelf come into the light

If I don’t recognize you, you’re gonna be shot on sight
