Boozey Love

from Vela by Stell & Snuggs

/

lyrics

Cut me a lemon, babe
Squeeze me a lime
for I've got to taint my mouth with liquor
one last time
Yes, I know we made a deal, I broke it
tell me it's a crime
to love the bottle just a bit more
than you

It's a boozey love we have, we'll take it
it's just fine
if you've got the alchohol we've
got the time
and when the spirit runs empty
we'll just hit the holy wine
and then we'll pray for the
sun to rise


It caresses my soul
when I'm down and out, and when I'm
feeling great joy, more will I
scream and shout
if I'm angry already, babe
you best look out
because nothins gonna stand in my way

yes the body's a temple, darlin'
that's just why if the
God's have been forsaken
you best hide your eyes
for the ground will shake the walls
and sky's will brimstone fill and
see that done is the i darkest will

It's a boozey love we have, we'll take it
it's just fine
if you've got the alchohol we've
got the time
and when the spirit runs empty
we'll just hit the holy wine
and then we'll pray for the
sun to rise

VIn the worship hall of hooch we broke
the cardinal rule
sailing slowly in the black out on
our little ship of fools
your touch abandoned all serenity
and took me straight to school
where I learned about the
seed within my soul

in the morning my sobriety felt
like a penitentiary
if I kneel down and repent
it's just weakness in my love you see
renounce my evil ways and never
let it get the best of me
lest the drink create a
heart so cold

It's a boozey love we have, we'll take it
it's just fine
if you've got the alchohol we've
got the time
and when the spirit runs empty
we'll just hit the holy wine
and then we'll pray for the
sun to rise
and then we'll pray for the
sun to rise
I see the love deep within your eyes
