What came first
The bottle or the glass
The bottle
Seventy percent proof
Thirty percent doubt
That always made her laugh
The proof of doubt
The glass half full
Her life half empty
There was a time
Once upon a time, there was a time
But that was then, and this is now
God, how poetic was she
That deserved a drink
Or maybe three
The neon sign across the road
Jesus saves
It shone a light
Well, it did at night
Which was alright
Cos electricity was really tight
The bottle seemed to disappear
Not a trickle, not a tear
Jesus saves across the road
Shining bright
In the night
Seventy percent proof
He existed just to say
Thirty percent doubt
She would have laughed
Maybe a tear
But like the bottle
Sadly
She was no longer here.
