Intro: (Chilin Version)
(ii)
Verse:
Yeah,
Living in my rented room, I sharply had a fall
I fell into a bottle, and no-one heard my call
And my father said,
"Why do you think that you stumbled into this bottle that you fell?",
And I says
"Father I think I lost my balance throwing pennies in the holy well".
Chorus:
Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all
Well you can whine and you can pray, but its up to you to say no way
Verse:
I came across a friend of mine who had, plunged and sank deep down
And I wondered if I knew him, because his mind had turned around
So I sat for a while with this stranger, he was a shell of what he'd once been
And I thought of all the alcohol and all the pain and greed that i've seen
Chorus:
Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all
Well you can whine and you can pray, but its up to you to say no way
No way,
Verse:
Mothers all around the world try to teach your children to stay
To stay well away from the bottle, if you dont want to watch decay
Decay of the mind and the soul aswell, theres no need to go through that pain
Mothers you wanted your children not to drown in the acid rain
Chorus:
Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all
Well you can whine and you can pray, but its up to You, yes it is
Its up to you, oooh yes it is,
Its up to you yes it is,
Its up to you's, to say no way
No waaay...
No waaay...Nah nah nah
