Living on the Edge Blues
All my life I travelled with two of my friends
Oh all my life I’ve travelled with two of my friends
Dionysus and Hades, oh they never leave me alone.
My friends are like estranged parents
Oh my friends behave like estranged parents
They’re never in the same room at the same time.
Dionysus dances, crazy like a fool
Oh Dionysus dancing crazy look at that fool
Oh one drink is too much one hundred is never enough.
Dionysus causes trouble makes me leave my lady at home
Dionysus causes trouble makes me leave my lady at home
It don’t matter none, I won’t be sleeping alone.
Hades is quiet, always catches me off guard
Hades is oh so quiet, always catches me off guard
Locks me in darkness, no way to find my way home.
Hades is busy has my hands tying knots
Hades so busy devil’s hands tying knots
A handful of pills, more liquor Lethe’s stream.
I went to the doctor he introduced me to Li
I went to the doctor who told my friend was Li
But Li was no good, killed Dionysus and also killed me.
Doctor, gave me more friends to try
Doctor, changed and gave me more friends to try
Good friends who keep Dionysus and Hades under control.
So life goes on, mainly content, productive and dry.
So my life goes on content, productive and dry.
Living on the edge one day at a time.
