 only way to go is forwards
 where the futures looking bright
 the man behind the bar is closing
 so we'll have to stay all night
 drink up cos i wanna control
 give in to the madness in our soul
 you and me are witness  to the fall
 only way to go is forwards
 and its not such a pretty sight
 when you haie is full of embers
 from the fire we lit last night
 drink up cos i wanna control
 give in to the madness in our soul
 you and me are witness to the fall
 drink up i dont wanna get shot
 old friends ill tell you what we've got
 not too much time before they bury us
we'll  have moments of celebration
 and drunken  feelingd of desperation
 and we wont
 sit back and look at photographs
 come back to see the aftermath
 lifes a bitch when you think its great
give  in and make the most of our ...
 drink up cos i wanna control
 give it to the madness in our soul
 not too much  time before they bury  us
we'll  have moments of expectation
 and we wont
 oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 Jam Solo around
 End on G
