about

"Champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends."

-- Tom Waits

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

lyrics

She loves to punish me
With champagne torture
Shot from a fountain
Bathed in the water

Out in the limelight
The Spanish Quarter
Into the blacklight
The Devil's daughter

Champain, Champain

At first I bade and sought her
When made to I paid and bought her
My favorite kind of pain
She's my remedy, she's my curse

Champain, Champain

Hanging gardens grow
In the Winter sun
Night blooms
The solstice has begun

Her eyes will shine
And her whip will crack
She'll kiss your neck
And then break your back

Chorus

She buys her Christmas gifts
At the liquor store
She stashes bottles
Underneath her drawers

Into the spotlight
Her warriors breed
Right through the stoplight
You feel the speed

Chorus

I wish out loud in vain
Changes never came
Echoes fade and I strain

The forlorn and insane
Guess I'm to blame
You're my Champain

She sleeps in fits at night
Day drinks in the morning
My ears ring with my mother's warning

Into the twilight with blinders on
Eyes hurt by sunlight
A white siren song

Chorus

She falls down on me like rain
She's my remedy
She's my curse

Champain, Champain
