Live at Lemmons, 2012: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbv5cp64j7k

lyrics

In the garage
In the dresser
In the attic of course
In the house
Behind the faucet
Under windows and floors
In the couch
Beneath the cushions
Behind every locked door

Empty bottles
Empty bottles
Empty bottles

Lives a monster
Lives a demon
Lives a sociopath
Swimmin laps
In my stomach
With a sinister laugh
If you think
That I'm trouble
Then you don't
Know the half
Of empty bottles empty bottles empty bottles

They found half of Billy's body
But I don't know which half
Some of us were horrified
And the rest of us laughed
They put a cross along the roadside
But he died in the bath
With empty bottles empty bottles empty bottles

In the backseat
With the vodka
Better step on the gas
Screaming high
Above the sirens
With our brains at half mast
And it's four in the morning
You better make that shit last
Or empty bottles empty bottles empty bottles

I'm gonna count to six
Before my bumper hits the bricks
I'm gonna raise a glass
Yeah the blood is up boys the blood is up
I'll blame a poltergeist
And I won't think twice
Because it's easy for me

Killing the ghost is easy for me

They say a person's a good person
That doesn't get caught
Well I am not a good person
So I don't worry a lot
And at the end of the calendar
And not look what I've got
Just empty bottles
Empty bottles
Empty bottles
