The New Pornographers
The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism
[Verse 1]
I say, my, my slow descent
Into alcoholism it went
To my head, where I really need it
With the views that remain untreated

[Pre-Chorus]
I say my, my, my, my slow descent
Into alcoholism it went

[Chorus]
Something like this song
Something like this song
Something like this song

Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central

[Verse 2]
I say my ever loosening grip
On the commonest courtesies slipped
From my hands, where I really need her
When I need change for the parking meters

[Pre-Chorus]
I say my, my, my, my slow descent
Into alcoholism it went
[Chorus]
Something like this song
Something like this song
Something like this song

Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central

[Outro]
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central

[Instrumental break]

Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central

Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah-huh
