The Halfway Bar


from Crucible, PA


Written by: Alex Shelbourne


Hello, come in

My, you look like weary gentlemen

Well I think I’ve got the place for you

This here, we are, The Halfway Bar

Your hired help through the night

I know the day is tough and long

But a few drinks, a quick sting, and you’ll feel alright


Raise a glass, knock it down

And join the survivors of this god forsaken town

While out there we rust away

Here, we’re not dead yet

Hell, we ain’t even halfway


Relax, shoot up

Let me get more in that empty cup

While you become anything you wanna be

Downstairs the girls all wait for you

Just chase the smell of cigar

Never again will you ever feel

Halfway between what you want and what you are


Raise a glass, knock it down

And join the survivors of this sorry excuse for a town

While out there we rust away

Here, we’re not dead yet

Hell, we ain’t even halfway


Don’t think that I’m proud of this place

I’d end it all if I could

You can’t blame me for the sickness

You see, lost souls are my business

And in Crucible, business is good


Raise a glass, knock it down

And join the survivors of this god forsaken town

While out there we rust away

Here, we’re not dead yet

Hell, we ain’t even halfway

Here, we’re not dead yet

Hell, we ain’t even halfway

Here, we’re not dead yet

Hell, we ain’t even halfway
