Vodka Knows - Billy Burke

Piranha Bar is closed tonight

I guess I’ll take the high heeled swim down 48 flights

Pay for the one who holds the nails

The hurricane to dust off all our horns and tails

Moths will never leave you

When earth’s having a vodka night

Painted and plastered to the stage

The moth is famous in that tawdry way

Reach for the devil’s light, hit him low

Upon the splashdown, keep the doubts in tow

Lies are here to feed you

The stars are gonna war tonight…

Way up in the nowhere

The saints are pouring black and blue rain

And Halley’s comet was a matchbook number glow

Whose shady memory, vodka knows

Vodka knows

Ten’s enough for now, how’s the mayor?

The lady wrestler says «I'm in love with bourbon»

Tell the haunted souls, the galaxy is open

But the search is over ‘till this shadow turns away and runs

I’ll be flying solo

Diving for the flames below

Way up in the nowhere

The saints are pouring black and blue rain

Halley’s comet was a matchbook number glow

Whose shady memories, vodka knows

Piranha Bar is closed tonight

I guess we’re all famous in that tawdry light

I can’t see the devil’s head but I can feel his glare

I can’t trust the moth to flee now, the moth’s so unaware

Moths will never leave you

When earth’s having a vodka night

Way up in the nowhere

The saints are pouring black and blue rain

Halley’s comet was a matchbook number glow

Whose shady memories, vodka knows

When all the bars are closed

Said vodka knows

I said vodka knows
