The Usual |
| I’m trippin over dumb drunks at a party |
| Girlfriend just ran off with the DJ |
| I give her everything, but she refused it |
| It doesn’t matter, she don’t know how to use it |
| My confidence is dwindling |
| Look at the shape I’m in |
| Where’s my pearls, where’s my swine? |
| I’m not thirsty, but I’m standing in line |
| I’ll have the usual |
| I’ll have the usual |
| Fifty silhouettes bumpin' on the dance floor |
| Pink elephants fallin' through a trap door |
| Sixty cigarettes a day 'cause I’m nervous |
| When will that bitch serve us? |
| I used to be a good boy, livin' the good life |
| Fifty thousand kisses later she was a housewife |
| She was good, I was unkind |
| I’m not thirsty, but I’m standin' in line |
| I’ll have the usual |
| I’ll have the usual |
| (on the rocks) |
| (two ice cubes) |
| (and a little umbrella) |
| Big Jim says the second comin’s comin' |
| I think he’s just seein' double or something |
| Or something |
| You can hang around waiting for the also rans |
| I can’t win, but I’ve seen enough, man |
| A fifth of whisky he could knock it away |
| I drink some more and it’s judgment day |
| I had a future, but she just passed out |
| I’m gonna drink until I see what it is I wanna think about |
| I’ll have the usual |
| I’ll have the usual |
| I’ll have the usual |
| On the rocks |
| With a twist |
