Oh baby, you know I miss you but I can't drink not in the TCU they don't let you drink I don't know why Feels like prohibition when you can't drink nothin at all Feels like prohibition when you can't drink nothin at all You know I miss my really good friends like Evan Williams and Jack Daniels when we used to spend time up Knob's Creek with the bitters and the sugarcube maraschino cherry, on ice yeah it was so nice so nice Feels like prohibition when you can't drink nothin at all Feels like prohibition when you can't drink nothin at all Can't drink in the TCU facility I asked the nurse why, oh why? they said they used to do it on Saturdays and Fridays but it got a bit crazy and out of hand and then they switched to wine and cheese but that didn't work either Oh baby, I know we're gonna be together soon I'm not an alcoholic, but I just love you so much so much Feels like prohibition can't drink nothin at all Feels like prohibition when you can't drink nothin at all Feels like prohibition when you CAN'T drink nothin at all no, no, no, no, no, no, nothin at all why not? But it's gonna be soon enough I just can't wait to not get enough of.. my old friend.. alcohol

about

After surgery for a broken leg, I was stuck in the hospital/TCU for a couple weeks. I made an EP of songs on Garageband, all about being stuck in the TCU, while I was in the TCU. It tells a story:

I accidentally slipped on the
----Black Ice
and broke my leg. Had to have surgery and an implant of a 5 inch metal plate. I spent 3 days in the hospital and then
----15 Days
in the TCU (transitional care unit) with an extremely small tv watching nothing but
----Basic Cable
and they kept waking me up and interrupting me to take meds and check vitals when
----I Just Wanna Sleep In
and day after tedious day, watching Veronica Mars on my iPad and tinkering with Garageband, I was
----Counting All The Seconds
and dealing with unexpected addictions, like feeling that
----I Need Caffeine
and also that it
----Feels Like Prohibition
when you can't drink nothing at all.
At the end of every long tedious day, I would fold up my iPad and say to myself
----It's Time To Go To Sleep Now
