I am back

Once again

To cauterise my inside

With the fire

Of brandy and wine

Oh how it revives

Revitalises

My weary soul

And battered body

Stave off the tremors

Hands now steady

No more spills

So more can follow

One after another

'No, I never drink spirits,

Only wine for me'

I laugh with jubilance

'For wine is healthy

It keeps me strong'

Maybe just a little,

No harm there,

Just enough to ignite

That fire in my belly

With renewed ferocity

Baise la vin!

It's brandy for me

For my heart, you see

To keep it beating

Never mind the shaking

The sleepless nights

The days when I wake

Covered in rancid vomit

See me laugh?

How can it be poison

If it makes me so joyful

And light

And free?

See me dance!

Around and around

Around and around

I dance and sing

Around and around

Around and around

See me dance

I dance and sing
