lyrics

Oh I was a selfish lover
As I drunkenly entered you
On the hotel floor

But I was just one of many others
Your Mona Lisa smile said boy
“I’ve seen it all before”

Now I’m too drunk to cum
My ego deflates as my dick grows numb
God I wish I was home
I’d crawl back in
To my mother’s arms

How cruel the world has become

Darling these pills are making me sick
I don’t know who I am anymore
I guess fluoxetine and alcohol really don’t mix
‘Cause I blacked out in a taxi
And I woke up on the floor
And I tried
I tired
I tried
I tried
But we are all changed in our turn
Transformed completely
A terrible nothing is born

I was a selfish lover
I held the door open
Then locked it behind your back

I guess I was young; I guess I was afraid
I guess I held my tongue too long
And too long I held you back

O amazing grace
You left the most bitter taste
What a terrible waste
To pray for one that can’t be saved

How cruel the world has become

Darling these pills are making me sick
I don’t know who I am anymore
I guess fluoxetine and alcohol really don’t mix
‘Cause I blacked out in a taxi
And I woke up on the floor
And I tried
I tired
I tried
I tried
But we are all changed in our turn
Transformed completely
A terrible nothing is born

Transformed completely
A terrible nothing is born

They populate tales of bad sex, drunk commutes and interpersonal claustrophobia delivered in Brennan’s cracked baritone, at times embarrassingly intimate ... more
