lyrics

Whiskey, she's got me on fire. Making eyes like midnight. She's a toxic desire. Green-eyed someone I imagine where you've been and where you might end up tonight. There's a tab for every refugee who's watching you in the bar room light.

Ginger, she goes down smooth. More a seamstress than a temptress. Not a mistress, but a safer place to groove. She holds me close. She holds accountable. There are politicians dancing, empty glasses, and a jukebox plays the fool.

The bar is closing soon and the song of the uncool is singing everyone goodnight. And the saxophone performer plays "Take Five" in the corner, in the streetlamp light. The night is getting sober and the streets are getting colder from the winter bite. Tomorrow's front-page news and the taxi-cab blues make me wonder, if it'll be alright. Will it be alright? Whiskey and Ginger, make it feel alright.
