The Last Ten Years Songtext
von Mark Eitzel

The ferryman who takes me to my rest
He don′t give a damn who's cursed or blessed
Anyway, I give him all my cash
I′m like some tragic hero
A lightning flash followed by a million zeroes
I spent the last ten years, yeah
Trying to waste half an hour
Every drunk is that VIP who only lives inside a rope
Where they show you all the love
Make mine a bourbon and coke
I'm not lying, Mr. Ferryman
I always make it home
Though my house is built on sand
It ain't worth the loan
I spent the last ten years, yeah
Trying to waste half an hour
So I had that real good time And then in the dawn
I saw the bartender′s love
I saw it in her yawn
Mr. Ferryman, do you party where you′re from?
Do you know where to go when the party's all done?
I′ve never been to hell, but they got my number
I feel them squirm inside my shell
Praying for slumber
It must suck, Mr. Ferryman
To hear the vanities talk
About the lies they need
Just to walk the walk
I spent the last ten years, yeah
Trying to waste half an hour
I spent the last ten years, yeah
Trying to waste half an hour
