lyrics

Oh my dear
I never call you dear
Never call you baby, I don’t look into your eyes, I never
Touch your weary empty arms
I’m not susceptible to your false alarms,
I’m not sympathetic to your Western woes
I don’t admire the life you chose,
But when I’m
Tired I cook your dinner
And every Sunday I wash your clothes

Oh my dear
I’ll buy your smokes
But the Kessler’s running low
I’m so tired of working all these hours
And I’m afraid we’ll lose our power
You’re the only thing I have,
And you won’t let me hold you tight
And when we go to sleep
You turn your back to me all night

Let’s have a drink
Here’s to another night
We’ll drink and sing and dance until the
Morning light

And we’ll say things that we don’t mean
And we’ll make promises we’ll never keep
And we won’t feel like shit tomorrow if we
Never go to sleep

I was asleep and had a dream
That I was sleeping and I dreamed
That I called out your name and you loved me
With all the passion in your soul
And then I dreamed that I awoke
Called out your name, again you came to me
And then I woke up and felt nothing
I turned my back to you and went back to sleep

I lay awake
I’m in a state
All these ghostly shapes
Of the mistakes we’ve made
And all the things that we’ve been through
These common traps have got us caught
We could be happy
But we’re not
I hope another man
Doesn’t set you free
Because I need you here with me

Let’s have a drink
Here’s to another night
We’ll drink and sing and dance until the
Morning light

And we’ll say things that we don’t mean
And we’ll make promises we’ll never keep
And we won’t feel like shit tomorrow if we
Never go to sleep

Let’s have a drink
Here’s to another night
We’ll drink and sing and dance until the
Morning light

And we’ll say things that we don’t mean
And we’ll make promises we’ll never keep
And we won’t feel like shit tomorrow if we
Never go to sleep

Let’s have a drink
Cheers to another night
We’ll drink and sing and dance until the
Morning light

And we’ll say things that we don’t mean
And we’ll make promises we’ll never keep
And we won’t feel like shit tomorrow if we
Never go to sleep
