Alison cries on a radio Monday

Lipstick goodbyes and a promise to call

He's in a veiled illusion

She's out of mind

They're happy ever after

And so am I



Cool in sorry town

I watch you drown

Cool in sorry town

I'm alive



Andrew expires on a valium Sunday

Ballpoint goodbyes full of rambling asides

His life's a failed illusion

He's killing time

He's happy ever after

And so am I



Cool in sorry town

I watch you drown

Cool in sorry town

I'm alive



I'm breaking stride on a cynical Sunday

Cool world goodbye said the fly on the wall

I'm in controlled confusion

I'm Mister Fine

So happy ever after



Cool in sorry town

I watch you drown

Cool in sorry town

I'm alive



(repeat)
