Lyrics
There's a lifetime in a bottle of wine, he said
Poured me a glass, but poured his lifetime instead
All your children know my face
All your children cry in disgrace
All your children carry my name
All your children are to blame
He turned and asked "What's your dream?"
Dreams may not lead where they seem
