lyrics

Long time ago
something changed my life:
I met a girl who became my wife.
We had a great time
I drunk plenty of beer
She knew when we married where I am the bottle's near.
Someday she said
My alcoholism gets worse
And if I don't stop drinking she will gets us divorced.
Shortly there after
There was only one way:
Getting' really drunk and now it's visiting day!

I was knocking at her door
With flowers in my hand.
She smelled the alcohol
And shouted: "This is the end!"
My heart is broken,
How could she dare?!
Everything was so easy
When she was there.

She must be joking!
My head told to me.
Eventually my brain has lost a bit agility.
Tried to talk, tried to discuss
but she just closed the door.
Discussing turned to begging and I fell down to the floor.
With a wounded pride
I started crawl back home.
Back in the real world I'm suddenly alone.
My mind cleared up
slowly but sure.
I start to recognize that what I've hurt is not to cure.

I was Knockin' at her door!
With flowers in my hand.
She smelled the alcohol
And shouted: "This is the end!"
My heart is broken,
How could she dare?!
Everything was so easy
When she was there.

Not long ago
Something changed my life:
I lost the girl who became my wife.
My world is broken
I do not exist
Just sleeping all day, just being tired and pissed.
I decide to make an end
Taking a bath with a hairdryer.
It's a modern world so death comes in a wire.

I woke up in the rain
My body still tensed.
Realized that I was dreaming and I had another chance.
I went home to wash myself
Without electric aid
Got flowers for my valentine, for my lovely maid!

I was knocking at her door
With Flowers in my hand
There was no alcohol
Only the love of our band.
My life is complete
Just because of her.
Everything's so easy
When she is there.
