I'm broken hearted with all that this entails  It takes some concentrated drinking to keep me on the rails    I have to hide my face, I have to hide my shame  I don't wait til I'm sober til I get drunk again    I drink at home, I drink out  I drink in cocktail bars  Falling down, seeing stars    It suits me, it suits me  Falling apart in Mars  I like to suffer for my art  Just one more before we part    My oh my, we can't compete  It's only heavy drinking  That keeps us on our feet  And my oh my, we can't complain  If it weren't for heavy drinking  We'd never play Sweet Jane    And my my my my, the days go by  I'll never quite forget her  But goodness how I try    Believe me  Believe me  Going astray  When all the bars from here to Mandelay  They never close, we never pay    Don't like to think about how much I drink  It's a habit that's out of control  Oh yeah, hope I never get dry before I get old    Well my oh my, we can't compete  It's only heavy drinking  That keeps us on our feet  And my oh my, we can't complain  If it weren't for heavy drinking  We'd never play Sweet Jane    My my my my, the days go by  I'll never quite forget her  But goodness how I try    Believe me, believe me  Falling apart in Mars  I like to suffer for my art  Just one more before we part    Don't like to think about how much I drink  It's a habit that's out of control  Oh yeah, hope I never get dry  Hope I never get dry now  Hope I never get dry before I get old
