The Antics Sweet Vermouth Lyrics
Sweet Vermouth by The Antics
Before I leave you to your own devices
I'm gonna tell ya a bit of a personal story here
About a man (that man was me) who stayed up a bit
Too late past his bed time, got caught wrestling
With the local flora and fauna out on Scudders Mill Road
At a sports bar
Watching 'Instumental Evil' on the tv in his motorcycle boots
Kick it
I saw the back of a jacket under incandescent bulb
Wrist watch and a hand-blown kiss
This one has blood between his teeth
Ich fahre mit einem Blitz durch die Erde
You made a few lowfat remarks
After racking up the tab
"Marriage, can it be bonafide?"
I still love her despite the stab
Ich fahre mit einem Blitz durch die Erde
With my elbows up on the bar
This guy came up to me wanting to cause trouble
Wanting to cause all sorts of trouble
With a smile that could cut glass
He splashed his drink right into my face
Just as I felt the Tullamore dew
Drain down behind my ears
I stepped back, and struck him
And we danced
And we danced
And we danced
And we danced
And we danced
And we danced
And we danced
And we danced the bloody ballroom waltz out into the street
Somebody was about to die
And just when I thought
I was about to catch the tip of his blade
I, just in time, pulled
A piece of rebar out of the ground
And I stuck him
God damnit, I stuck him
And his blood poured out
Like sweet vermouth
All over the ground
And the perfume sunrise
Diffused into the morning
Bring it down
Bring it down
Bring it down
Bring it down
Went to bed with a knife wound in my stomach
Ich fahre mit einem Blitz durch die Erde
You think one of these cigarettes is still good?
I need a cigarette
I need a cigarette
I need a cigarette
Can somebody get me a cigarette
Baby
Baby
Get in the elevator
Ride it all the way to the top
Sure is cold out here
Hot
I'm gonna tell ya a bit of a personal story here
About a man (that man was me) who stayed up a bit
Too late past his bed time, got caught wrestling
With the local flora and fauna out on Scudders Mill Road
At a sports bar
Watching 'Instumental Evil' on the tv in his motorcycle boots
Kick it
I saw the back of a jacket under incandescent bulb
Wrist watch and a hand-blown kiss
This one has blood between his teeth
Ich fahre mit einem Blitz durch die Erde
You made a few lowfat remarks

I still love her despite the stab
Ich fahre mit einem Blitz durch die Erde

Wanting to cause all sorts of trouble

And we danced
And we danced
And we danced
And we danced
And we danced
And we danced
