Always the crier
And the last to know
Can’t believe I’m still here
In Chicago
I used to drink with Liz and Joan
Anymore I prefer to drink alone
Sitting ‘round in Shit Town
Getting drunk and watching the sun
Going down over the suburbs
Cut me a smile, Doc
Cut me a line
Transform this face
Into something sublime
I’ve got a stack of fashion magazines
Here I am in my Birkenstocks and jeans
Sitting ‘round in Shit Town
Getting drunk and watching the sun
Going down over the suburbs
I’ll probably have a heart attack
And be lying on my back
Just stranded here for days and days and days
Wake up a drooling mess
In the tatters of my wedding dress
A stranger with bad breath asking
“Are you okay?”
Ghostly faces
From another age
Stare right through me
From my Facebook page
I daydream Jon left me for
An actress, model, writer, doctor, or—
(Anybody but…)
Sitting ‘round in Shit Town
Getting drunk and watching the sun
Going down over the suburbs
Three cheers for the home team
Let’s go! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
And one more for me
Three cheers for the home team
Let’s go! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
And one more for me
Three cheers for the shut-in
And one more for the sot
And one more for me
