lyrics

Sitting at the bar after my friends left
Sitting at the bar I got no money left
There’s a couple in the corner doing awful stuff
And my face in the mirror
With a bottle for an eye
I take a last sip, then I slip out
On the sly, on the sly

Prospects are dimming, dark clouds moving in
Landlord’s stopping by he raised the rent again
I got rocks in my socks I got spit in my gin
And the larder’s looking empty
And my pockets are getting light
But I’m drinking red wine on a Tuesday
I’m alright, I’m alright

Venue under a warehouse where the J train rolls
Singer up on the stage he grabs the microphone
He cries one two three four
And the band kicks into gear
And the kids all lose their minds
I’m in the way back and my feet hurt
It’s getting late, it’s getting to be time

Temperature’s rising the storm’s coming soon
Chatter on the news says it’s coming for you
Well I know it looks bad but there’s plenty you can do
You can hope, you can pray
You can despair, you can cry
You can face facts: you can’t help it
But you can try, you can try

Once loved a woman as sweet as can be
Once loved a woman no one cooler than she
Yeah I loved her so much she was part of me
But I wasn’t part of her
And it hurts, but it’s fine
You can be smart, you can be in love
But never both at the same time

Hey man how you been?
Oh, I’m ok, friend
I been up I been down now I’m up again
You can see me on the TV
I’m the picture of wealth
Wearing pinstripes, double-breasted
Yeah I did it all by myself
