Down among the wines and spirits Where a man gets what he merits Once it was written in letters of nine feet tall And now he finds that floor is falling Since he's set his mind on her completely Oh well, I guess that you mustn't have seen him lately Walking around with a pain that never ceases He starts to speak and then he falls to pieces Down among the wines and spirits Where a man gets what he merits Lives with the echoing words of a final quarrel The vacant chamber in the empty barrel But as he picks himself up from the sawdust floor Clicks his fingers to that swinging door Suddenly he's calling out, "More, more, more" "I'm twice the foolish man I was before" Down among the wines and spirits Bubbles escaping from him from the rim of a glass of grape She sails through his memory just like a ship of shapely As he started to sink he was drinking to drown his sorrows That fill his nights and they empty his tomorrows But as he picks himself up from the sawdust floor Clicks his fingers to that swinging door Suddenly he's calling out, "More, more, more" Speaks of invisible things he hardly credits Down among, down among the wines and spirits
