It's like a meditation when I'm drinking tea With my sisters that I never even knew really I'm trying really hard not to drink no more But I want to drive the wagon through the store My name is Paula Spencer With the gob you can dispense sir I don't need a drink or you to walk me home Cause I'm old now and damnit I don't care I stepped young into this world and I got married I didn't know what I was doing no one can really Thats when I started drinking with my husband see And getting seven kind of shit knocked out of me I'd terrorize my children for their own booze They didn't even trust their ma to buy them shoes And when the kids and me are happy now and times are good I want to hold them but I don't think that I could Life is like a box of stale chocolates You can be sure of all the bleeding shite you'll get But now I'm working steady and its going fine And I've yet to touch a single glass of wine It's like a meditation when I'm drinking tea With my sisters that I never even knew really I shower my kids with love although they won't trust me But it's as good now as it's ever going to be
