lyrics

i'm going to the loo and I am not coming out
i feel like a scream but I ain't willing to shout
life is but a moment still it's perfectly loud
created by the edges of doubt

hey mr. Daniel's will you burn down my throat?
it may help me to find exact the right notes
if i won't succeed tonight i'll run to the goats
where dull and empty sheepiness floats

hey man cool it you're losing your grip
listening to the rain falling down with a drip
never push me you're pushing me still
i'll look just if my eyeballs will
i'll look just if my eyeballs will
i'll look just if my eyeballs will
i'll look just if my eyeballs will

a final sip and i'm going to bed
i guess i'll takke a second and a third one instead
i think i've hurt a woman and i'm full of regret
hiding all the tears i ain't shed

hold on fellow you're going to fast
it's time to face the future and forget 'bout the past
i don't feel like going yonder downtown
because mean old jack has got down
mean old jack has got me down
mean old jack has got me down
mean old jack has got me down

mean old jack
creates asocial behaviour to get them off my back
he know what reason is and makes sure that it always lacks
when will i hate you more than love you
bottled mean old jack?
mean old jack
mean old jack!

met a girl and she looked alright
blond hair grey eyes through the night
she could give me goosegumps if she tried
but sometimes i feel that i struggle with my loyalty
we went out one day and once more i wished to be free
'cause another pretty girl was standing there alone
she gave me shivers to the bone

i kissed the other girl and my lady got mad
in her opinion i was just a dirty old rat
i must admit that i felt only little regret
but at this moment i sure feel bad

mr. Daniel's is my therapy
he brings my way of thinking to a different degree
when he fills with me with his delicate flames
i lose the will to play them games
i lose the will to play them games
i lose the will to play them games
i lose the will to play them games

mean old jack
creates asocial behaviour to get them off my back
he know what reason is and makes sure that it always lacks
when will i hate you more than love you
bottled mean old jack?
mean old jack
mean old jack!

on the table stands a bottle that stares
he's empty but he's telling that he doesn't care
the whisky house has got some brothers of mine
if you buy one of those it's fine
if you buy one of those it's fine
if you buy one of those it's fine
if you buy one of those it's fine
