lyrics

I half expected you to stay there
send for your whiskeygirl and your favourite jacket
simple, enticing to realize you are free to do as you please
can't disappoint those who do not know you exist

if you met a stranger - say in a graveyard
you got to talking just passing through
you told the story of these past years
would you embellish, outright lie or tell the truth
'cause you feel you are a good story, just like a one night stand
you want to impress

you shouldn't be uneasy when you're alone
you shouldn't be scared on account of you're by yourself
the blackest thoughts hold vital questions
find out what you need without anyone else's help
they don't care I don't mean that in a bad way
they are screaming too

I 'll tell you this - a bit of courage
goes a long way to getting younger
just embrace all that deteriorates
smile at the anaesthetist before you go under
you have morphine and your mother loves you just because
you're you
