Last Straw - Jack's Mannequin
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 the 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 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 won't wait for you forever While you run around like JFK You 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 'til dawn And I think this is the last straw.
