Empty bottles fill the shelf His life's in ruin, he once had wealth She left him cold, he cried His heart inside him died But, bottles cure the pain forever. His clothes in rags, his head is bowed His pride has gone - he cries out loud His friends don't know him now He was rich but not so now But, bottles cure the pain forever. His mansion now just lies in ruins He couldn't care what's happened to him Begging pennies from the crowd They laugh at him out loud But, bottles cure the pain forever.
