Jack's Mannequin - Last Straw lyrics

rate me

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

And 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.
