Dominoes from Hangin' In by Christopher Brown

DOMINOES
Man at the bar pounds his fi st
says Give me a vodka rocks and a twist
Twist that twist from left to right
I’ve already had a helluva night

Just trying to make some sense of it
Takes a long drag from a cigarette
The smoke in this place could make you sick
Picked a helluva time to try to quit
It’s a helluva time

There’s a jukebox voice from long ago
Van Morrison singing domino
He thinks of his wife as a young girl friend
Had a helluva time with her back then

Man at the bar looks at the TV
Where they’re selling a tape of the great Ali
Float like a butterfl y sting like a bee
That’s a helluva a time analogy
It’s a helluva time

We’re all lined up like dominoes
How did he did he did he how did he know
All fall down like dominoes

Now there’s a gas masked guy from the middle east
They’ve dropped a bomb on that domino piece
Man at the bar thinks of his son
It’s a helluva time to turn twenty-one

[CHORUS]

He can see the future in his empty glass
When he squints his eyes he can see the past
His face on a soldier young and bold
It’s a helluva time to be getting old
It’s a helluva time

Now the man at the bar pounds his fi st
Another vodka make it quick
The bartender points to the clock on the wall
It’s a helluva time to miss last call
It’s a helluva time

We’re all lined up like dominoes
All fall down like dominoes
