My willpower's weak and I shiver
as I wake in the night with a fever
for the bottle is burning a hole down in my soul.
I walk down the stairs to the hallway
and reach for the glass on the tray
let my trembling hands fill the cup
up to the brim
Bottle green,
bottle green,
you tainted all my dreams
seems like all I've ever seen
is colored bottle green
It destroyed all my hopes and cares gave a bitter taste to my prayers
and made me a fool in the world I'm living in
A reflection I see in the glass paints a portrait of my wasted past
in the shade that made my heart lonesome and blue
Bottle green,
bottle green,
you tainted all my dreams
seems like all I've ever seen is colored bottle green
