Last Straw Songtext

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
hrnlkm olp jnni
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
hrnlkm olp jnni
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
hrnlkm olp jnni
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.
