lyrics

Of all the tales I've ever told
I hesitate to mention
My acquaintance with a race so old
They laugh at our conventions.
They realize that every mans'
Perception is a prism.
And that reality,
Or what we see,
Just misses what is hidden
You can acquaint yourself
To this reclusive, ancient race
By drinking whiskey by the gallon
Till you come up with the shakes.
Then, at night,
All the leprechauns
Come around to visit me.
They come strolling
Through my fireplace
So blithe and bold and free.
And we party. Wee party...

The frantic jig begins
When I'm so drunk
I double see.
I stumble to the fireplace
pursuing revelry.
Is this delerium
Or passage rites?
I wonder what I'm learning?
Take it from a witness;
If you find you're actually burning,
You should immediately
Quit drinking whiskey.
Immediately quit drinking whiskey.
Uisce beatha.
Uisce beatha.
