 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
