What's  it like there outside
 With the living,  with the living
Here  I've found a place that  I can hide
 From the living,  from the living
 Cause I don't  care to stay  with the living
Oh,  the bottle has been  to me
My  closest friend, my worst  enemy
Oh,  fickle I walked  a fine line
Squandered  it all and wasted  my time
 And I don't  stand a chance  among the living
For  the lovers I've gambled  and lost
Count  my mistakes whatever  the cost
I'll  go off, I'll make  myself scarce
Oh,  come tomorrow You won't  find me here
 Because I don't  care to stay  with the living
 I don't think  I'll remain  with the living
 And I don't  care to stay  with the living
 No, I don't  care to stay
