[Intro] [Slow, melancholic electronic organ chords] [Soft, ticking drum rim-shots] [Verse 1] [Staccato vocal delivery] This wine is right. It’s all I deserve. Sour and cheap. Calming my nerve. [Verse 2] I was so angry. With my last man. He didn't care. He didn't understand. [Pre-Chorus] [Strings swell slowly] But don't you worry. Don't look so sad. I’m over the worst... Of what I had. [Chorus] [Full mid-tempo groove kicks in] When this glass is gone... I won't shed a tear. I’ll just go to the bar. Get another one here. Cheap velvet taste. In a dirty glass. Waiting for the shadows... To finally pass. [Verse 3] The bartender looks. He knows my face. A regular girl... In a lonely place. [Verse 4] The bottle is dry. The bottom is near. But there's plenty of time... And plenty of beer. [Chorus] [Full mid-tempo groove with heavy strings] When this glass is gone... I won't shed a tear. I’ll just go to the bar. Get another one here. Cheap velvet taste. In a dirty glass. Waiting for the shadows... To finally pass. [Bridge] [Tempo slows down, music strips back to just organ and voice] One more dollar. One more dime. Buying myself... A little more time. Don't ask me my name. Don't ask me to stay. I’m drinking the memory... Of him away. [Guitar Solo] [Vintage, distorted 1960s electric guitar solo, slow and emotional] [Chorus] [Big explosive final chorus, high energy] When this glass is gone... I won't shed a tear. I’ll just go to the bar. Get another one here. Cheap velvet taste. In a dirty glass. Waiting for the shadows... To finally pass. [Outro] [Music slows down to a rhythmic ticking clock] Just another glass... Just another ghost. [Fading organ note] [End]
