about: Firefox tells me "Bartending" isn't even a word. There's a little red line under it.

Regardless, this song does, in fact, exist. It also references a great Calvin and Hobbes strip in which Hobbes tells Calvin his idea of why you dream when you sleep: "I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night!"

I always loved that mentality.
lyrics: Your bartending eyes are begging me to drink
until I’m drunk,
but I’m leaning off the edge of my seat.
It wouldn’t be wise making me lose my balance now,
unless you want me falling off
of this couch, and straight for you;
so let’s both admit
we love this fucking view, and that
the best we can do now is just to celebrate right.
So grab your guns and fire
into the quiet night
(you better believe now we’re gonna set things right).

We’ll make a rupture with
all our hopes and dreams–
packed with good intentions and TNT.
You’ll be a criminal with that crooked smile,
‘cause I can tell that your heart’s
just so damn volatile and confused;
so let’s make a toast
to all we can keep from this:
a bottle of champagne, our memories and wine,
three fingers of whiskey and ours intertwined.
So sleep tight; don’t worry now,
I think I’ve got it right:

just fall asleep
and we’ll dream side by side,
because Bill Watterson had got it right:
we can play together all night
in our dreams.
