Jack's Mannequin "Last Straw" |
I heard that you went out last night And you looked beautiful Just like a bat beneath the moonlight I stayed home, took a Vicodin Sometimes it's all that I can do When I think about the president How did he become the president? And I stayed awake for a day or two. I thought about the world, drank gin and watched the news And there are some things I'll never understand Why a country needs a God And a woman needs a man And you never write me letters And you never sent my sweaters So I could stay warm when I was without you Without you I don't sleep, just dream And I scratched these words into a black notebook I wrote your name on top, I knew you'd never look And I tried my best to fight the atmosphere To think the happy thoughts that leave the phone lines clear I see Arizona stars from here, but Peter Pan is miles away. And you never write me letters And you never sent my sweaters So I could stay warm when I was without you Without you I don't have a place that's safe from all the monsters That hide in my head and sing me to sleep, sleep. This is the last straw, this is the last straw She said, �And I wont wait for you forever, while you run around like JFK. We watched that poor girl waste the best years of her life. And I'll be damned if I am going out, I will not go out that way.� And you never write me letters And you never sent my sweaters So you could stay warm when I was gone Without you I don't have a place that's safe from all the monsters That hide in my head and keep me to dawn I think this is the last straw Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
