lyrics

She called me up, bent my ear
Said, “I got some things that you don’t want to hear”
Well I’m a loose goose, baby, tell me anything you wanna say
We got a bar on the corner where we can chat our blues away

She walked right in, sat right down,
Bartender please, another round!
“Give me two gin sodas, twist of lemon, easy on the fizz”
I’m shaking on my stool, wondering why she’s going through with this

And ever since I’ve been walking and wandering and weeping on a subway line
Yeah I just keep wishing and hoping, looking for something that I just can’t find
I look around me and all I see are frowning faces
I’ve got friends in no places
Ever since she left me behind

2015, doing alright
Got an apartment—it’s out of sight!
Got a nice dumb job no I don’t need no help to pay my rent
Me and my buddies are great—who’s gonna worry about the government?

If I get lonely, well buddy you bet
I find me a date on the internet
“Would you like to get some coffee, have a drink, or grab some dinner, please?”
They like to get to know you better before they drop you down onto your knees

And after that you’re just walking and wandering and weeping on a subway line
Yeah you just keep wishing and hoping, looking for something that you just can’t find
Take it from me you know all I see are frowning faces
I’ve got friends in no places
Ever since she left me behind
