Jerusalem Slim

Jerusalem Slim - Hundred Proof Love lyrics

It's happy hour, but no one's laughing

Such a sobering scene

This nightmare's just a stale runnin' dream

Intoxicating me

Beauty is only skin deep

So let's get under the skin

Liquor is quicker but truth of the matter

Is slowly wearing thin

Been giving so much lately

Compassion fatigue

No drinking to forget

Is gonna rescue me

One hundred proof love

I need a hundred proof love

Is it hell or high water rolling over me

I could drown in my misery

One hundred proof love

Pour me the hundred proof love

And i chase my demons down off the rocks

'cos i'm hanging on and on

Like a full time saint, a visionary

I can shock right through the jive

No method missionary

Could pull the wool over my eyes

Radical departure

From the way that you add vice

To the vigilante vanguard of the artificial life

Been fighting so much lately

The war of nerves

It's not about morality

It's how you take the curves

One hundred proof love

It takes a hundred proof love

Is it hell or high water rolling over me

I could drown in my misery

One hundred proof love

Straight up the hundred proof love

I save my strenght for the hardest knocks

'cause there's no surrender

No conditions, hurting for hundred proof love

Been giving so much lately

Compassion fatigue

No drinking to forget

Will ever rescue me, no

One hundred proof love

Find me a hundred proof love

Is it hell or high water rolling over me

I could drown in my misery

One hundred proof love

Gimme a hundred proof love

I chase my demons down off the rocks

'cos there is no common touch

Without a hundred proof love
