Barrier Reef - Old 97's

The Empty Bottle was half empty, tide was low, and I was thirsty

Saw her sitting at the bar, you know how some girls are

Always making eyes, well she wasn’t making eyes

So I sidled up beside her, settled down and shouted, «Hi there.»

«My name’s Stewart Ransom Miller, I’m a serial lady-killer.»

She said, «I'm already dead,» that’s exactly what she said

So we tripped the lights fantastic, we was both made of elastic

Midnight came and midnight went, and I thought I was the President

She said, «Do you have a car,» and I said, «Do I have a car?»

What’s so great about the Barrier Reef?

What’s so fine about art?

What’s so good about a Good Times Van

When you’re working on a broken

Working on a broken

Working on a broken man?

When you’re working on a broken

Working on a broken

Working on a broken man?

My heart wasn’t in it, not for one single minute

I went through the motions with her.

Her on top, and me on liquor

Didn’t do no good, well I didn’t think it would
