O'Rouke's 1:20 a.m. |
It’s different when you’re lonely, |
the whole world’s in love. |
Holding hands between bar stools, |
and you’re holding your tounge. |
Hold on — you’re so fucked up… |
so fickle. |
Isn’t this what you want? |
So simple, so single. |
But it’s different when you’re helpless. |
When the bars close their doors, |
growing hostile towards your waitress… |
those extra tips went ignored. |
It’s different 'cause you’re desperate |
Begging mercy on the sidewalk |
to a sea of last callers |
(keep the conversations quick |
and keep them interested!) |
You’re different… and they sense it |
Your eyes can’t disguise it… |
so glassy, half empty. |
Ready to spill. |
Hold on- please don’t leave yet. |
I can’t go home alone, |
it doesn’t go over so well. |
So hold on just a little longer. |
At least through the night, |
at least 'til the morning. |
Hold on. |
Hold on to me. |
I can hardly stand — much less |
the sight of myself. |
So hold on, hold on tight dear. |
Put your foot on the gas — |
get me the fuck out of here. |
