TOP SHELF REDEMPTION

Walking into that seaside bar
Just another line in the water, in an empty ocean
A gipsy woman gave something, tonight I'm using that potion
My will is dancing on a weathered line, vial buying me some time
One shot for you, one for what im 'bout to do
Three Shots ring out down a back Alley
The boys are hard-up tonight in a real gangsters rally

I've seen the sun set over my childhood town
I've felt the love, as I lifted her gown
Saw a tough guy fall to his knees, his heart just melt
Looking for a happy hour deal, with that girl on the top shelf 

The band stops, " Mister Please help!"
I tried to slip out the door, in a cowardly stealth 
She grabbed my arm, " you with the magic potion!
Does it save lives? If so, please set it in motion!
There's a man and he's dying fast!"
I poured it down his throat, every drop, down to the last

I've seen the sun set over my childhood town
I've felt the love, as I lifted her gown
Saw a tough guy fall to his knees, his heart just melt
Looking for a happy hour deal, with that girl on the top shelf 

"It's working! It's working!" She said
That's just great for him but that don't help my empty bed
"You were gonna drug me Sir?"
I probably didn't have it in me, I'm just a dreamin entrepreneur
With a bad angel on my shoulder, looking to settle the score
The gipsy told me to use it for love, whatever I didn't use to dispose of
She told me I was destined for great things,
Didn't hit me until I heard your screams
"What's your story"? she said
Well ya see honey, I been around 

I've seen the sun set over my childhood town
I've felt the love, as I lifted her gown
Saw a tough guy fall to his knees, his heart just melt
Got a happy hour deal with you tonight, chance to redeem myself
