Lyrics:
(Chorus)
Climb in, climb in, climb inside me,  pain.
(Verse)
Another night of drinkin', another night of being out of my head and I 
don't know where I was last night. Drinking on an empty stomach or an 
empty mind. It makes no difference when I'm way out of line.
(Bridge)
Things I can't remember come back to haunt me. A lot of people out there 
who seem to want me. 
Climb in the bottle and never come out.
(Chorus)
(Verse)
I may know nothin' but I'm good at something, I will drink until the day 
comes up No more. One of these days gonna come out of my haze. Better 
hurry up, it's getting harder to come back.
(Bridge)
(Chorus)

That's it!  It's not a real tough song, except the bridge riff, but it's 
a great song to play, and nobody rocks like Rancid!  E-mail me with 
comments, changes or questions.
