Where The Nights Been

from Raise High the Moonbeam, Cosmonauts by Cameron Smith

about

Dedicated to my friend, the Cork.

lyrics

The cork hates it when I drink,
It feels so left out, I think
But I always place it on the countertop so gently.
And when I'm done don't I pick it up?
Don't I let it goalie all the cups
that I long for as if they're already empty?
But when I thirst my thoughts get worse,
'is the cork swallowing first what I so dryly neglected on the nightstand?'

I've got the blood, I've got the hands
I've got the stains, I've got the satin
but I just can't keep track of where the nights been.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Aren't you sorry for anyone else?
You know everyone carries around that weight
and when the cork does settle down
Oh, how it sinks into the crown
with crimson ring and swollen head--so desolate.
And we both share this one last drink,
we're still the last ones up, I think.
Hell, we can't even remember why we're fighting.

We've got the blood, we've got the hands
We've got the stains, we've got the satin
but we just can't keep track of where the nights been.

No, we just can't keep track of where the nights been.
