[Verse 1]
I come knock on the door and I rap on the heart
You've got stars in your eyes, it's a fine place to start
And I get a message that I take is divine
With the wind at our back till we're over the line
And tomorrow's too late for this sort of thing
For the sun may not rise and the soul doesn't sing

[Chorus]
There's a drunkard's waltz, can you take it? (Drunkard's waltz)
If I give you my bottle, don't you break it (Give you my bottle)
We were born to love, come on, let's make it (Born to love)
Be mine tonight

[Verse 2]
There's a church on the hill where the desperate ones go
They lay their bodies and their blood in the snow
There's a longing in you that I've noticed in me
We were lashed as a dog and so splendidly free
There's a taste in my mouth for the love unrefined
That was scorched into clay at the beginning of time

[Chorus]
There's a drunkard's waltz, can you take it? (Drunkard's waltz)
If I give you my bottle, don't you break it (Give you my bottle)
We were born to love, come on, let's make it (Born to love)
Be mine tonight
[Verse 3]
Down at the river one day waits the ghost
Turning into the people that we hide from the most
And I'll swing from the stars and you'll run through the trees
Like Venus in April with mud on your knees
And if death hangs around and he laughs at us all
Seems the higher we get, the further we fall

[Chorus]
There's a drunkard's waltz, can you take it? (Drunkard's waltz)
If I give you my bottle, don't you break it (Give you my bottle)
We were born to love, come on, let's make it (Born to love)
There's a drunkard's waltz, can you take it? (Drunkard's waltz)
If I give you my bottle, don't you break it (Give you my bottle)
We were born to love, come on, let's make it (Born to love)
There's a drunkard's waltz, can you take it? (Drunkard's waltz)
If I give you my bottle, don't you break it (Give you my bottle)
We were born to love, come on, let's make it (Born to love)
Be mine tonight
