Lyrics for The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism

I said, my, My slow descent Into alcoholism, it went To my head, where I really need it With abuse that remained untreated I said, my, my, my, my slow descent Into alcoholism, it went Something like this song... Something like this song... Something like this song... Salvation holdout central... Salvation holdout central... Salvation holdout central... I said, my ever-loosening grip On the commonest courtesies slipped From my hands, where I really need her When I need change for the parking meters I said, my, my, my, my slow descent Into alcoholism, it went Something like this song... Something like this song... Something like this song... Salvation holdout central... (x16)
