The life of an alcoholic. Drunk drivers kill thousands of people every year.

Night has fallen
outside it's dark
earlier you took a
short walk in the park
which didn't suffice
It's twelve o'clock
outside is frozen like ice

You safely park your car
enter the local bar
Order up a stiff drink
your mind starts to think
your eyes began to blink
as you try to deal
with your fear
Just why are you here
No answer will appear

It's been a messed  up day
seems the night will
go the same way
Last drink call at the bar
you pass because
you have to drive your car
But you've already
had too much
and that steering wheel
you'd better not touch
