Reasons to Quit
Your cat speaks to you in Spanish
You pick up a man at the lesbian bar You dive into a toilet bowl to retrieve your lipstick roll You call your mom to see if she can tell how high you are You do, who are you? You do, who are you? One morning happenstance is written on your hand Friday night on 23rd is where you stand Screaming, “Why won’t you have sex with me?!” You wake up with a girl who likes Kenny G Reasons to quit You must admit That nothing changes if nothing changes If no one changes it You get into a fight with a metal gate Outside the diner at 4:08 Happy hours make you wanna punch aces In plate glass windows and smiling faces You do, who are you? You do, who are you? Your beer goggles wear whiskey goggles You call your dealer mom by mistake Your friends with the drinking problem puts you in a cab You can’t remember what Sunday looks like You don’t , maybe you won’t You don’t, maybe you won’t Reasons to stop Your life could be swapped For the junk in the corner of the old junk shop You have to stop. And then there are the nights You walk the streets and cry There are enough women in this city With tears in their eyes Reasons to quit You must admit That nothing changes if nothing changes If no one changes it |
