Lyrics

To the old chrome cassette of my mother's voice
I still cry when I hear her sing
The clock struck twelve, the voice I love so well
Was eaten up by the machine
It was eaten up by the machine
When the glass is full, drink up, drink up
This may be the last time we see this cup
If God wanted us sober, he'd knock the glass over
So while it is full, we drink up
A toast to Mary, a girl I once loved
Oh Lord, why do things have to die?
If drinking beer could bring her back here
I'd drink the damn place dry
Yes, I'd drink the damn place dry
When the glass is full, drink up, drink up
This may be the last time we see this cup
If God wanted us sober, he'd knock the glass over
So while it is full, we drink up
Here's to the old house on Lily Pond Lane
And the room where my boots used to rest
One day I gave the foundation a shake
But my home did not pass the test
No, my home did not pass the test
When the glass is full, drink up, drink up
This may be the last time we see this cup
If God wanted us sober, he'd knock the glass over
So while it is full, we drink up
When the glass is full, drink up, drink up
This may be the last time we see this cup
If God wanted us sober, he'd knock the glass over
So while it is full, we drink up
