Last Call

last call he was sick of it all asleep at home

told you off and goodbye

well you know one day it’ll come to haunt you that you didn’t tell him quite

you’re a crisis, you’re an icicle, you’re a tongueless talker, you don’t

care what you say

you’re a jaywalker and you just, just walk away

and that’s all you do

the clap of the fading out sound of your shoes

made him wonder who he       thought that he knew

last call he was sick of it all, the endless stream of reminders

made him so sick of you, sick of you, sick of you, sick of your sound,

sick of you comin’ around

tryin to crawl under my skin when I already shed my best defense

it comes out all around that you’ve won and I think I’m all done, you can

switch me off safely

while I’m lyin’ here waiting for sleep to overtake me

you’re still here but just check to make sure

all you aspired to do was endure

you can’t ask for more, ask for more, knowing you’ll never get

that which you asked fo       r

so you cast your shadow        everywhere

like the man in the moon

and you start to drink and just wanna continue

it’ll all be yesteryear soon

you start to drink and just wanna continue

it’ll all be yesteryear soon

church bells and now I’m awake and I guess it must be some kind of holiday

I can’t seem to join in the celebration

but I’ll go to the service and I’ll go to pray and I’ll sing the praises in

my maker’s name

like I   was as good as she made me

and I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me x8

I’m lyin’ here waiting for sleep to overtake me
