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
(PM) (PM) (PM) (PM)
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 scratch these words into a black notebook
I wrote your name on top I knew you'd never look
I tried my best to fight the atmosphere
To think the happy thoughts, that leave the phone lines clear
(PM)
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
(PM)
And I won't wait for you forever
(PM)
While you run around like JFK
(PM)
You watched that poor girl waste the best years of her life
(PM)
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 I 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 'til dawn
(Stop)
I think, this is the last straw.
