Between the Bars Songtext
von Madeleine Peyroux

Drink up, baby

Stay up all night
Things you could do
You won′t but you might
The potential you'll be

You′ll never see
Promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about
Pressure of days
Do what I say
And I'll make you okay
And drive them away
Images stuck in your head
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
Drink up, baby

Look at the stars.
And 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
And keep you apart
Deep in my heart
Separate from the rest
Where I like you the best
Keep the things you forgot
The 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
