lyrics

Sit and dine with the rats of the world,

Fold in your chair like a factory mold.

Kill the lights let the speaker explode,

Kill the mood let Cupid’s arrows erode.

We’re loosing light, so I’m burning bridges.

I’m loosing friends and I’m loosing interest.

Another year lost to history,

Another year of it’s not meant to be.

And all your friends say ‘that is just the way it goes.’

So sit and drink alone to the radio.

I hope they play your song, I hope the spirit stays.

And all your friends say ‘that is just the way it goes.’

That is just the way it goes.

You won’t be dry for days.

On dirty sheets, I will be on my knees.

Begging “baby baby please don’t leave”

But all colors will turn to grey.

Last words: “Don’t ever change.”

It’s strange now how I begin to ask:

Death by hemlock or a heart attack?

So holdfast to that letter from me.

“Oh what me worry?” I’m just a memory.

Now I know what you mean,

When you said you could do better than me.

So pin your heart to your sleeve,

And take that sleeve and pin it to me.

Because,

Through dog ear’d books,

Through record skips,

Through broken glass,

Through pouty lips,

I gave you space.

I gave you time.

I gave you everything.

Your heart was mine.

So take all my money,

Take all my time.

Take everything.

Take my mind.

Take all my money,

Take all my time.

Leave me nothing,

Except this bottle of…

(whine)
