one more drink, darling
sit down, it's on me
bear the night away on your personal poison
it won't be real until the hangover

watching her from across the room
pretty, isn't she?
what are you waiting for?
this is your night, take the prize

cut the lines on the cracked mirror
the rolled ten suddenly becomes your best friend
one, two, more still?
ah well, i happen to like the powder on your nose

guilt will set in tomorrow
when you wake up with a headache
and you realize you never asked her name
'oh god, what have i done?'

stand in the shower for a long while
trying to wash away the night before
the powder is all that goes down the drain
no time to dwell on it, get ready for the next night...

sounds like life for a druggie or a drug dealer or someone that wanted to get really fucked up...

Personally, I thought it just summed up the decay of one man's morals. Then again, it's only writing, it's up to interpretation.
