lyrics

THIS APARTMENT, CRUMMY AND LONELY.
DRUNK ON GIN. WHERE’S THE AIR CONDITION?
I DO WHAT I ALWAYS DO REACH FOR THE PHONE AND I CALL JUST TO ASK IF I CAN COME HOME?

BOIL TWO EGGS AND EAT THEM LIKE BUKOWSKI.
HAM ON RYE. JUST A DIRTY OLD MAN.
MY BIGGEST FEAR IS THAT YOU’RE DOING SOMEONE ELSE
IN THE BED THAT WE SHARED.
MAD, CRAZY WITH JEALOUSY.

TOOK A WALK, PASSING BRIDGES, PASSING PASSERS-BY.
THAT’S WHAT YOU DID, I DON’T BLAME YOU AT ALL.
NEW TASTE, NEW CAR, NEW CLOTHES, NEW HAIRCUT AND AN OUTLOOK ON LIFE
THAT YOU NEVER HAD BEFORE.

BIRDS ARE SINGING, FORESTS ARE ON FIRE.
DRUNK ON TALLBOYS, NO ROOMS FOR HIRE.
LET’S BE FRIENDS. LET’S START ALL OVER AGAIN.
I CALL YOU ONCE MORE, BECAUSE I WANT TO COME HOME.

CHASE YOU DOWN THE STREET. SO WHAT IF PEOPLE LOOK?
SWIPE RIGHT WHEN SOMEONE CALLS AIN’T TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR.
LETS JUST SIT DOWN AND TALK
THE BIRDS ARE TALKING MORE THAN US
I CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME.

CHIRP AWAY WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND IN THE CITY.
BREAKFAST AT LUNCH, LUNCH AT DINNER, DRINKS FOR DINNER.
A COMFORTABLE WAY OF SPENDING YOUR DAY.
I PASS BY WHEN I SEE YOU BOTH ENJOY EACH OTHERS COMPANY.
