Kneipenblues

[Verse]
The air is thick the lights are low
This bar's my church this stool my pew
The jukebox groans in a weary tone
Whiskey talks louder than I do

[Chorus]
Oh Kneipenblues Kneipenblues
I lost my soul I paid my dues
Every bottle tells the truth
Oh Kneipenblues Kneipenblues

[Verse 2]
A neon flicker like a cheap tattoo
The clock's a liar it don’t move right
Smoke curls like dreams you never knew
Ashes falling into the night

[Prechorus]
I hear the laughter
It cuts like knives
Every face here
Hides two lives

[Chorus]
Oh Kneipenblues Kneipenblues
I lost my soul I paid my dues
Every bottle tells the truth
Oh Kneipenblues Kneipenblues

[Bridge]
The bartender’s smile is a crooked grin
He’s seen it all he knows your sins
The floorboards creak like an old man’s sigh
And every goodbye feels like a lie
