Last Straw Letra

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 a 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 scratched these words into a black notebook

I wrote your name on top, I knew you’d never look

And 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 wont wait for you forever, while you run around like JFK.

We 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 to dawn

I think this is the last straw
