Story

I ran into a girl last week

She was an old friend of mine

I'd seen her on occasion

And it was so sublime

We began negotiating

Negotiations made me blind

When she said she didn't want me

Well you know that she was lyin'

Now I'm washing done my pride with a bottle of red wine

I'm selling everything that I own

I'm swallowing my dignity

Chasing it with time

Forgetting all the things I used to know

You can come and see me

Just don't be too surprised

You see, I wouldn't wanna do something

To hurt your pretty eyes

Well I live like a dirty whore

Beneath this disguise

And I'm whoring out my soul

To anyone whose needs arise

I'm washing done my pride with a bottle of red wine

I'm selling everything that I own

I'm swallowing my dignity

Chasing it with time

Forgetting all the things I used to know

I used to know

I used to know

I used to know

I knew that you'd be leaving

As soon as you got inside

Sometimes it's pretty ugly

Sometimes you just can't hide

Maybe sometime, we could take a ride

You could be my passenger

And I'll be your guide

I'm washing done my pride with a bottle of red wine

Selling everything that I own

Swallowing my dignity

Chasing it with time

Forgetting all the things I used to know

Now I'm washing done my pride with a bottle of wine

And I'm forcing down my shame

And I'm chasing it with life

Left of time
