Lyrics: Lou Reed. Legendary Hearts. The Last Shot.
:
The last shot should have killed me, pour another drink
Let's drink drink to the last shot
And the blood on the dishes in the sink
Blood inside the coffee cup, blood on the table top
When you quit, you quit, but you always wish
You knew it was your last shot
I shot blood at the fly on the wall
My heart almost stopped, hardly there at all
I broke the mirror with my fall -with my fall - fall - fall
Fall - fall - fall
Gimme a double, give yourself one too
Gimme a short beer, one for you too
And a toast to everything that doesn't move - that doesn't move
But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish
You knew it was your last shot
Whiskey, bourbon, vodka and scotch
I don't care what it is you've got
I just want to know that it's my last shot - my last shot
I remember when I quit pretty good
See, this here's where I chipped my tooth
I shot a vein in my neck and I coughed up a quaalude
On my last shot - my last shot
Here's a toast to all that's good
And here's a toast to hate
And here's a toast to toasting and I'm not boasting
When I say I'm getting straight, when I say I'm getting straight
But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish
You knew it was your last shot
When you quit, you quit, but you always wish
You knew it was your last shot
The last shot should have killed me, pour another drink
Let's drink drink to the last shot
And the blood on the dishes in the sink
Blood inside the coffee cup, blood on the table top
When you quit, you quit, but you always wish
You knew it was your last shot
I shot blood at the fly on the wall
My heart almost stopped, hardly there at all
I broke the mirror with my fall -with my fall - fall - fall
Fall - fall - fall
Gimme a double, give yourself one too
Gimme a short beer, one for you too
And a toast to everything that doesn't move - that doesn't move
But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish
You knew it was your last shot
Whiskey, bourbon, vodka and scotch
I don't care what it is you've got
I just want to know that it's my last shot - my last shot
I remember when I quit pretty good
See, this here's where I chipped my tooth
I shot a vein in my neck and I coughed up a quaalude
On my last shot - my last shot
Here's a toast to all that's good
And here's a toast to hate
And here's a toast to toasting and I'm not boasting
When I say I'm getting straight, when I say I'm getting straight
But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish
You knew it was your last shot
When you quit, you quit, but you always wish
You knew it was your last shot
