Moby Grape - Ode to the Man at the End of the Bar Lyrics

(Carl Mosley)

Hours passing slowly by
People, they come and go
I sit and drink a pitcher of beer
And the world, it turns so slow

I asked the girl for another glass
I broke the one I had
I still have five, and thirty-four cents
I'm not doing so bad

I came to this bar for a reason tonight
To cry or was it to laugh
I don't really remember anymore
But I still have two-and-a-half

Boy, this stool, it really fits me well
I'm about to fall asleep
Now I can't find the keys to the house
Or to my old red Jeep

It's time to go, I heard the girl say
"Last call" a while ago
Damn sure good, she said it so loud
I was about to fall on the floor

Now she wants to call me a cab
To take me from this place
I suppose I should really go
So drunk I can't feel my face

Boy, they really going to hate me here
I puked all over the floor
But I just remembered why I got so drunk
As I was crawling out the door

My head's so big and it's seven AM
Another day's about to begin
I just hope that five o'clock comes soon
So I can start all over again

(repeat last two verses)

Yes, I just hope that five o'clock comes soon
So I can start all over again
