Eking out a living in this paradise
Gimme Johnny Walker, neat, no ice
A few more of those I’ll be alright
Getting me through a long slow night

Twisted pain of death lines my face
Another chance tomorrow my saving grace
I’m here to fight, never say die
Always chasing truth never a lie

Eking out a living in this paradise
Gimme Johnny Walker, neat, no ice

Smile for me Baby I’m here for you
Whatever it takes you know I’ll do
You know my dirty secret I can’t hide
That’s why I get with you deep inside

A few more of those I’ll be alright
Getting me through a long slow night

Wake up everyday glad to be alive
Another day of earning one-o-five
Soul is not for sale just a man for hire
The dreams alive can’t kill this fire

Eking out a living in this paradise
Gimme Johnny Walker, neat, no ice
A few more those I’ll be alright
Getting me through another long slow night
