lyrics
I've got the Xanax, I've got the Jack, I've got a long winter ahead
Can't get my baby to come back
I've got my fleece, I'll hit the streets, I've got a new life on lease
But it feels like a leash
Seven days of church, seven nights of group, seven weeks of slinking along but you know there's still five days of work
Yeah, there's five days of work
So c'mon!
Who would want you now like I wanted you then?
Don't let shoulders grow up and over your head
It's days like these
It's days like this
Well let's switch
She's going for the jugular it couldn't get much uglier than this
Baby's got a snaggletooth bight
Give me shagreen, give me chagrined
Give me that vapid stare & a warm glass of gin
There goes my feet, there goes my legs, there goes the money well spent in a therapist's bed
Seven hours shredding, seven minutes dreading, seven seconds finding the chords but you know there's still one day in court
Yeah, there's one day in court
So c'mon!
Who will want me now like I wanted you then?
Don't let shoulders grow up and over your head
It's days like these
It's days like this
Well let's switch
She's going for the jugular it couldn't get much uglier than this
We're all butterflies & bees stuck in the roof of your mouth
Cast the white gold to the sea
And we're swallowed up to sully
I've got the Xanax, I've got the Jack, I've got a long winter ahead
Can't get my baby to come back
I've got my fleece, I'll hit the streets, I've got a new life on lease
But it feels like a leash
Seven days of church, seven nights of group, seven weeks of slinking along but you know there's still five days of work
Yeah, there's five days of work
So c'mon!
