Well I walked into the city, where you stood there lookin' pretty And I came to the stoplight that turned from red to green And the buses and the cars flickered out like dying stars, you said watch your damn mouth now and don't make a scene Well we stood beside the water with our pockets full of quarters, and your legs began to shiver as you stripped yourself clean And she fell into the river, some say I must've hit her but she dove down to the bottom and said "Anything you need" Chorus: And I got lonely that night And I got drunk in the daytime And I lost my favorite tooth, sittin' up on the roof, tryin' to give myself proof that I'm okay Well the more I loosened by belt the weaker that I felt, Till my jeans had all faded from blue and black to grey So I made the chief decision that it was only superstition And the way we rise and fall was too vague to say Well we met young Jack and Jill while climbin' your favorite hill and we helped em with his pail and we said "watch your step "cause now Jack you're bound to fall with that crown placed to tall and then Jill will be left to book your final trip Chorus Come on now darlin' don't be scared, I'll wake you in the mornin' when we're halfway there Rise like the daytime, rise just to fall, spring turns to summer when we don't speak at all Well we held hands for a while and exchanged feeble smiles and I could tell by your eyes that I was scared to death So I punched my other self, and I hid behind the shelf Where the cocaine and the whiskey told me to watch my step. Chorus

I guess I'm more of a waffle guy than a pancake guy cause a waffle is more transparent about your syrup intake.
