lyrics

The skies are always whirlin'
And this globe's been getting hot
And there's something in the air
That says we ain't exactly what we thought

I been watching all them people
From the bottom of a whiskey cup
And they'll smile back and they'll plainly ask
You think heaven's really up?

Chorus:
I got two problems
One's a bottle that's too full
The other's when it's empty
And there ain't nothing left ot pull

Tommy Doyle was a good boy
He'd drink just like he talked
He'd sing, and smoke, and gamble
The way most of you all walk

I got a phone call last weekend
Conor, Tommy Boy's been dead
[A] Firebird took him back to god
I think that's what she said

Chorus:
I got two problems
One's a bottle that's too full
The other's when it's empty
And there ain't nothing left ot pull

Well they'll talk about ashes to ashes
And they'll sing about dust to dust
And they'll brag about the gods they saw
on the dollars that they trust

I ain't got the answers
I ain't even got the time
I'm headin' out, I'll see you 'round
And we both know that's a lie

Chorus:
I got two problems
One's a bottle that's too full
The other's when it's empty
And there ain't nothing left to pull

I've seen angels grabbing pavement
I've seen devils wearing suits
A thousand surplus love affairs
And found barely any truth

Hens'll cluck about the cars they want
Their jobs and something else
I can her squawking now about
Her housing and her health

Chorus: (X2)
I got two problems
One's a bottle that's too full
The other's when it's empty
And there ain't nothing left to pull

The skies are always whirlin'
And this globe's been getting hot
And there's something in the air
That says we ain't exactly what we thought
