THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS
"The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism"

I say, my, my slow descent
Into alcoholism it went
To my head, where I really need it
With the views that remain untreated

[Pre-Chorus:]
I say my, my, my, my slow descent
Into alcoholism it went

[Chorus:]
Something like this song
Something like this song
Something like this song

Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central

I say my ever loosening grip
On the commonest courtesies slipped
From my hands, where I really need her
When I need change for the parking meters

[Pre-Chorus:]
I say my, my, my, my slow descent
Into alcoholism it went

[Chorus:]
Something like this song
Something like this song
Something like this song

Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central

[Outro:]
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central

[Instrumental break]

Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central

Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central

Ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh
