Lyrics:

Pass me the whisky I need to still me
Pass me the glass I need to steal me away
No no don't do anything to distill me
Tell me that you love me
I'll be forgetting I'm just a lowly whore
Feed my foolish dream I could be a wife
That I could tempt you away from your other life

Oh Lord how long must I bide
I need someone to steal me away
Something to still me today

Oh Lord, how long till I die
Deliver me numb to my pain
For peace never stumbled this way

Tell me how it feels
To have a back strong like a wall
Not a burning out car
You got splendor and taste at the tips of your fingers
But where I'm sleeping rough is where I'm seeking true love

Oh Lord how long must I bide
Gimme someone to steal me away
Someone to topple my pain

Oh Lord won't I be bride
Someone to topple my shame
He could come eclipse my name

I write on the back of a cigarette pack
That we're all aged like stars
I'm made up of some else's joy and someone's scars
That velvet-fingered dope that I smoke
Dupes me for a second that I am free
Like some great unbothered oak tree

Oh Lord how long 'til I'm mine
I need someone to steal me away
Deliver me numb to this pain

Oh Lord how long till I die
Someone to steal me away
Someone to steal me away

Peace may just tumble this way
