You're straight as an arrow
don't know about the land
But I know all these back alleys
Well, tell me what you want,
I'll go right out and get it
and I'll deliver in a minute
and collect another shot,
on that other side of the bottle?
peeking through your window slats
You lie awake and you can
Your eyes ain't there for sleeping
And time ain't fit for keeping
Well, it's half past midnight
and collectin' at a shopper
And baby, I've been livin'
on that other side of the bottle
Well, it's deep in the gutter
You got that glint in your eye
You can't break the spell
You're lookin' for a pass
and collecting all the shovels
on the other side of the bottle
You're out there pulling tricks and tricks
Feel the heat, oh, so low
I put the moon in my pocket,
shot the sun out of the sky
Livin' for the nighttime love,
the sleep out of our eyes
I send no rest for the weary,
if you can't keep up near me
and collectin' in the shine for
I've been living on the other side of the bottle
