black out

I toast to fools and drunks
A merry life though short
I boast of jewels and might
And fine ladies to court
Yet never shall I die a sadder night
Then ten and five past midnight
A rope my jury and two legs my killer
A scream of fury and my last breath a blur
For a merry life is the life of fools
A drunk once told me so
Yes I am a fool but never a drunk
After my life did go
