Mood  swing whiskey
Drank  it all in the trailer
Waiting  for the dark to move in
Sitting  in my step-sister's kitchen
Horseflies  on the window sill
Eyes  trained on the lemon king
 And wishing  it were a gun
I'm  thinking of our wedding rings
Trapped  inside the heater
 Spring water  on the floor of this
Sex  starved room
Your  nightmare's fall around me
In  waves of bliss
I  tried to stop it with my hand
 I was  lost in the kiss
 With you  mood swing whiskey
 Your bliss,  the actress, bliss, the assassin
 Bliss, the abyss
Took  a crazy shot of whiskey
In  about zero to sixty
All  I could see was the bill
I  was  singing through a melody
With  a drink in my right hand
Eyes  sparkling, afraid and amazed
I  said  boost me up to your junkyard paradise
Boost  me up to your junkyard paradise
Baby  I need  a sweet-ass photo of you
I  cheated and I lied
And  you stole her
Stung  my tongue just like
Sweat  from her shoulder
Ooh  moodswing whiskey
 Your love,  the destroyer
 Love, the destroyer
 Love, love.
 Yes moodswing whiskey has my brain
 Only you could break this chain
 I need her in my bed again
Yeah  yeah oh  yeah oh yeah x 4
Going  down to the subway station
I’m  packing a rod
All  unnecessary histories erased
 I am a punishing god
Moodswing  whiskey
 Your prodigal son  has returned
 
This  is for all the headless acrobats
 Faces crushed  in the circus  dust
All in  the name of gravity
 And the price  of admission
Beautiful loser
Warm  hearts would have let you down
Beautiful  loser
Warm  hearts would have left you
‘cause  you’re beautiful
I  think  of mankind in quotation marks
Ever  since I took a drink  of you
