Lou Reed The Last Shot
The last shot should've killed me Pour another drink Let's drink to the last shot And the blood on the dishes in the sink Blood inside the coffee cup Blood on the table top When you quit, you quit But you always wish You knew it was your last shot But when you quit, you quit But you always wish You knew it was your last shot I shot blood at the fly on the wall My heart almost stopped Hardly there at all I broke the mirror with my fall With my fall - fall - fall Fall - fall - fall Gimme a double Give yourself one too Gimme a short beer One for you too And a toast to everything that doesn't move That doesn't move But when you quit, you quit But you always wish You knew it was your last shot When you quit, you quit But you always wish You knew it was your last shot Whiskey, bourbon, vodka and scotch I don't care what it is you've got I just want to know that it's my last shot My last shot I remember when I quit pretty good See this here's where I chipped my tooth I shot a vein in my neck and I coughed up a quaalude On my last shot My last shot But when you quit, you quit But you always wish You knew it was your last shot When you quit, you quit But you always wish You knew it was your last shot
