lyrics

a whole bag of goldfish
and a mickey of whiskey
is all i've really had this afternoon
i'd feel like even steven
to tell you that i'm leavin'
but somehow i just say i'll see you soon

i've been keeping heartache
sleeping at an arms length
but pretty soon something's gotta give
i could settle for what i have
and howl at streetlamps
but i don't think that's any way to live

when we hit a pothole
we both dive in a foxhole
waiting for the other to shine a light
now your sensitive heart
is breaking in the dark
'cuz your moon's just a sliver tonight

well what have i got to show for
a servant and a chauffeur
but feeling trapped in the back of a black maria
when i'm finally bored
of drying your eyesores
we could even say it's your idea (let's do that)

a whole bag of goldfish
and a mickey of whiskey
is all i've really had this afternoon
i'd feel like even steven
to tell you that i'm leavin'
but somehow i just say i'll see you soon
