The Philosopher Lyrics

Just a bar room Nietzsche. Watch him ponder on his day

The drink he holds is empty. Are his morals in decay

Grabs another bottle Lifts another glass

The drink becomes his burden, as his mood becomes morass

But he's just another dreamer, drinking slowly through his past

Tries to pour another answer, but the bottle doesn't last

Said he's just another dreamer, slowly working through his past

Tries to pour another answer, but the bottle never lasts

There sits a young captain, watch him teeter on his stool

The drink he holds is empty, is he philosopher or fool

Well, he views himself a scholar, while he skates on cellophane

The magic in the bottle, helps to mitigate the pain

But he's just another dreamer, drinking slowly through his past

Tries to pour another answer, but the bottle doesn't last

Said he's just another dreamer, slowly working through his past

Tries to pour another answer, but the bottle never lasts

Just a bar room Nietzsche, watch him ponder on his day

The drink he holds is empty, can he wash it all away

There sits our young captain, slowly falling from his stool

The drink he holds is empty, is he philosopher or fool

But he just another dreamer, drinking slowly through his past

Tries to pour another answer, but the bottle doesn't last

Said he's just another dreamer, slowly drinking through his past

Tries to pour another answer, but the bottle never lasts

No, it never lasts
