Lyrics

Vice Man

I smoked my dinner last night.
I never quite get it right.
I smoked my dinner last night.
You know I smoked it alone,
under the pale moon light.

I drank my breakfast this morning.
The hunger came on without a warning.
I drank my breakfast this morning.
You know I drank it alone,
while the moon was falling.

I bet on the lucky 11.
I rolled on the lucky 11.
The dice ain?t never my friend.
I bet on the lucky 11.
With the snake eyes watching,
you know I?ll never bet again.
(Until the next time.)

I woke up in the bad woman?s arms.
I woke up in the wrong woman?s arms.
I couldn?t resist those charms.
I woke up in the wrong woman?s arms.
She said come on here, child,
I?ll never do you no harm.

If the sea turned to bourbon,
call me Captain Clem.
I?ll sail by the starlight,
and then I?ll dive right in.

They say I drink, smoke,
and gamble my life away.
I?ll quit tomorrow,
tomorrow?s another day.
