bottle s bout dead

Paul Simon

One last shot
One more sip
Like it or not, love's on the rocks
Like the smile on her lips (On her lips, on her lips)
It was good while it lasted
But it's gone when it's gone
No, it ain't hard to see
It's a miracle that we made it last this long

This bottle's 'bout dead, just a couple more drops
That open sign's on, but it's 'bout to turn off
This watered-down dream in the bottom of a glass
Is all the proof we need, some things don't last
And all the words that could've fixed this already been said
This bottle's 'bout dead
(This bottle's 'bout dead)

Yeah, we keep wishing' on the neon stars above the door
Findin' bars that we can lean on
that's what they make 'em for
Keep on actin' like it isn't, but apparently it is
Oh, no matter how much we hated this

This bottle's 'bout dead, just a couple more drops
That open sign's on, but it's 'bout to turn off
This watered-down dream in the bottom of a glass
Is all the proof we need, some things don't last
And all the words that could've fixed this already been said
This bottle's 'bout dead

So bottoms up, baby
Here's to the both of us
Go a little crazy in love for a little while
Ooh, and then goin' out in style

'Cause this bottle's 'bout dead, just a couple more drops
That open sign's on, but it's 'bout to turn off
This watered-down dream in the bottom of a glass
Is all the proof we need, some things don't last
And all the words that could've fixed this already been said

This bottle's 'bout dead
(This bottle's 'bout dead)
This bottle's 'bout dead
(This bottle's 'bout dead)
