As Long As There Is Whiskey In The World - Murder By Death

I’ve been down on my luck

Been down too long this time

I drank 'em to the bottom

Till I found myself there too

And the taste of defeat

Has never been so sweet

So I pour another glass

Fail again and again

I’ve been down

And I’ve been higher than Sears Tower

I’ve asked the higher powers

If they would just spare a drink

Did they answer my cries?

I was a bit preoccupied

I toasted them, boasted to them

That they had met their match

But as long as there is whiskey in the world

We can drink away the heartache

We can drink away the girls

Who we long to love, but we’ll never touch

As long as there is whiskey in the world

I have loved

And I’ve lost all that they gave me

They all try and save me

But I’m seeing this thing through

And these feelings of remorse

They leave me no recourse

So I pour another glass

Fail again and again

But as long as there is whiskey in the world

We can drink away the heartache

We can drink away the girls

Who we long to love, but we’ll never touch

As long as there is whiskey in the world

I don’t want to be saved

Ah, ah, ah, ah

As long as there is whiskey in the world

As long as there is whiskey in the world

As long as there is whiskey (as long as there is whiskey)

As long as there is whiskey in the world
