Ohh Alcoholic
Ohh real good liquor
Ohh make you throw up
Ohh make you clumsy
Well...
My Pop had a party at the house one night
On the last day of school and the food is all right
We had a speaker on the roof and a speaker on the hill
With four turntables and a reel to reel
All the pretty women came, no ugly chicks
All the stars came from the Ritz
The people eat the chicken and they drink up all the liquor
And they turn into a big screwdriver
Well...
My uncle is a 'Holic' and he down a pound of Whiskey !
With an Eight for a chaser
Spit it on the bouncer
Bouncer kicked his ass
And he lost a girlfriend with a big soul kitchen
Now he's layin' in the gutter like a skid row bum
Skid row bum style...
Ohh Alcoholic
Ohh Scotch and 800
Ohh make you scratch the record
Ohh burn the spaghetti
Well...
I came home from school on a monday
I missed the radio reggae show
I felt like a rude boy
I could have slammed me a poseur
Well...
My uncle called me a punk rocker in the doorway
As he dribbled on the table when he started to say
"You're not a rude boy, you're a lazy boy
You should make like a tree and leave
Make like a library and book
Make like a roach and bug off"
Ohh Alcoholic you can't drive
Before you crash and go to jail(Frank Wilson/Pam Sawyer)
How long has that evening train been gone
I wanna know
How long has that evening train been gone
I have a babe that was standing at the station
Waiting for a train
I ran to the door with my heart in my hand
(Heart in my hand)
And all my future plans
I've gotta catch him if I can
Is that express Mr. Station man
I woke up this mornin'
With a smile on my face
Feelin' that the world
The world was a beautiful place
How long has that evening train been gone
I want to know
How long has that evening train been gone
On a scrap of paper was the
Train arriving information
His room was empty and his closet's bare
And not a single shirt was hangin' there
How could the guy just up and leave me
What did I do that was so displeasing
Only yesterday he helped me type
He told me everything
Everything's gonna be alright
Oh, he said he loved me and he cried
Oh yeah, he said he loved me and he cried
Oh, yes he did now
There must be an explanation
Come on and move out the station
Can't you see that he's taking my world
And making me a sad sad girl
That's why I can't let go
That's why I gotta know
How long has that evening train been gone
I wanna know how long
Has the train been gone
Oh yeah, has that evening train been gone
Right now
Can't wait a minute longer
How long has that evening train been gone
Right now
