Jack's Mannequin - Last Straw lyrics

Your rating:



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 
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 
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 
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 
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.
