I knew I could make it, knew I could shake it, lose some fancy free
Then I took your hand and tried to stand and ended up sittin' back down
And pretty soon we were in some room stretched miles out in space
So I looked at you and then I knew that we were gonna have some fun
Was fallin' right out, 'cause I was wiped out
Was fallin' right out, 'cause I was wiped out
Through the smoke-filled room I caught your eye
And I think that you caught mine
Then you started to move with such a groove, stronger than sneakin' slow
But an hour along, comin' on strong, I was gettin' drunk
The room was turnin', we were burnin', things became a haze
So without a word, and like some bird, we flew to another place
Then you looked at me with your big blue eyes, they had such a glow
So I went to the table and reached for a bottle
I was wiped out, I had my lights out
I was wiped out, I had my lights out
It seemed that already I had too many, firewater caused the blaze, I was
Then you smiled at me and gave me a wink, how quick I lost my frown, I was
Took a few sips and looked around, I was feelin' fine
I was wiped out, I had my lights out
And I knew in a minute or maybe less, it was just a matter of time
And poured me a glass of wine
The next thing I knew I looked at you, I was blind as a skunk, I was
So I thought to myself, wine was out, we should switch to rum
