Analysis of Life Beyond the Pale
Colors running in the rain
Wet leaves play at my ankles
I missed the bus again
A dull aching rankles
Lover's gone out looking
For next year's model
Leaving me to be looking
For my next hour's bottle
I'm another year older
Weather's turning colder
And I haven't a clue
As to whom I am
As if I give a d*mn
We're stuck beyond the pale
Got a kick in the mouth
Handed me my head
And sent me packing South
Must've been something I said
I'm another year older...
Another dump another dive
I don't need more to drink
But put me in mode survive
I'm amazed I manage to think
I'm another year older...
Crawled in from the wild
Feeling like a naughty child
Going down in a shot
Of silky smooth Southern Comfort
