female vocalist, drinking song, Renaissance, fiddle, energetic, fast-beat

[Verse 1]
Oh, born with a dozen siblings, have I,
scattered like the stars, in our night sky.
Running through alleys, hiding in the dark,
Any try to catch them, they fly like larks.

Mother never saw us, she saw only men,
So I sought my own coin, before I was ten.
I’ll tell ya, the easiest marks are out cold,
And the cheapest bread, is covered in mold.

How did I do it you ask, the drunkest of the goer,
I fake a drink, win their coins, their lids going lower.
When a twelve-year old can play the drunkard, tipping and tumbling about,
Then beat away the grizzled muggers, you know the girl has clout.

[Refrain]
[Pre-Chorus]
I faked my drink,
I lose my feet,
I sink,
to the ground.

I take a drink,
Steady my feet,
and search
about the town.

Those little lights,
In glass jars,
safe.
[Pause]
Another round!

[Drop]
[Chorus]
So I drink, drink, drink,
To keep the burdens light,
If you're floating, then surely can't drown.

For when you drink, drink, drink,
And your heart is in the air,
You can't hear those little bubbling sounds.

[Verse 2]
I pull my punches, play the part, take another sip,
Buggers fall in the alley while my bloody knuckles drip.
Coin in hand, the purse bell rings, my bruises are my toll.
My brothers and sisters, my bright lights, now with belly’s full.

Fragile children, all my siblings, each have a scar,
I rally them home, swear I’ll atone, then go and hit the bars.
Snatch a purse, pour a drink, listen to drunk cries,
I must be a bleeding heart, for a fast friend am I.

My greatest fear is losing them, I must carry on,
Every night I drown in it, until the morning dawn.
My name is cheered when I knock drunks out,
Yes, you know, this girl has clout!

[Refrain]
[Pre-Chorus]
I faked my drink,
I lose my feet,
I sink,
to the ground.

I take a drink,
Steady my feet,
and search
about the town.

Those little lights,
In glass jars,
safe.
Another round!

[Chorus]
So I drink, drink, drink,
To keep the burdens light,
If your floating then surely can't drown.

For when you drink, drink, drink,
And your heart is in the air,
You can't hear those little bubbling sounds.

[Refrain]
[Bridge][Somber]
I find their light,
Every night,
and put them in their jars.

They want to shine,
but miss the sign,
on all the closed doors.

I’m the one,
That keeps them safe,
I’m the one,
that takes the rake,
I’m the one,
Holding tight their jars.

[Chorus]
So I drink, drink, drink,
To keep the burdens light,
If you're floating then surely can't drown.

For when you drink, drink, drink,
And your heart is in the air,
You can't hear those little bubbling sounds.

[Outro]
Yes I drink, drink, drink,
As I hold my little lights,
Because of them, I know I'll never drown.

[Fade Out]
