Between the Bars Songtext
von Elliott Smith

Drink up, baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do
You won′t, but you might
The potential you'll be that you′ll never see

The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about the pressure of days
Do what I say, and I'll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head


People you′ve been before
That you don′t want around anymore
This push and shove and won't bend to your will
I′ll keep them still

Drink up, baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again, between the bars
Where I′m seeing you there with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time, and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot

People you′ve been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I′ll keep them still
