The Throttle

One hand on the bottle. 

The other on the throttle. 

Take a pull. Take a drag. 

Have a smoke. It's called a fag. 

Wake up lonely. Slept in the chair. 

TVs on. But no ones there. 

Head keeps pounding. Pounding. Pounding. Time for a drink. Sit and think. 

Smoke a smoke. Tell a joke. 

Take a sip, to your lip. 

Rense repeat. 

One hand on the bottle. 

The other on the throttle.
