Corea Wet Jam
Rick Holder and Paddy
McLean are in town
You can hear'em across
the town borders
And their stories jump
up as the whiskey runs down
As the day fades, the
whiskey runs further
Rick Holder says "Paddy
remember that day
When you dropped the
great bomb, I still see ya"
I can still smell
burned flesh of the war smoke of grey
40 fuckin' years gone
since Corea
I was wearin' boots and
my green uniform
Fightin' communists for
justice and fun
Lovely lady will you
join me for the night
I've grown older but my
heart's still on run
But girl you can't
break my heart
I still love my Bloody
Mary
Waitress, over here
Two more pints of beer
Join me for a pee,
McLean you bastard
McLean woke up in the
bed of his own
Watch his bed partner
become a bottle
He throws up, feels his
head like the weight of a stone
In his ears he hears
tambourine rattle
He opened a bottle and
searched for his mouth
Feel the morning booze
slides through his entrails
And the poison makes
Paddy's dreams head for the south
He's mistreated by
peace in his own jail
I remember when we came
back from the war
Welcome-party in a
whiskey store
Now the kids don't
even see you anymore
Mother earth became a
fat peace whore
Feel it's time to leave
the show
Jesus plug me down with
bullets
I don't want to think
Give me one more drink
And you'll make this
day dye faster
