Burlington Bar Scene

from Little Slugger by Little Slugger

lyrics

At the bar it isn't hard to tell me what to do
I'm such a nervous wreck that every breath I take
Is either cigarettes or booze
But every time you call me out again
I'm such a sad dog on a lease
I stumble close behind and try to read your mind
So that you'll offer me a treat

Tied to the table, five dollar glasses
It's getting late and no one asks
But take it from me babe
I'll be the one to leave
Your life is fast tracked, I've always been assured
I'm not a benchmark, you're no ambassador
If you've got to lie try something I might believe

Midnight comes with broken thumbs
That try to keep you close at hand
But lose you to the crowd and everyone around
This city's bar scene wins again

My eyes to the table breaking my glasses
It's getting late and no one asks
But take it from me babe
I'll be the one to leave
Out through the streets you're twirling and twisting
Soft like the mist until we kissed
Then you turned around and I silently watched you leave

Left again at Church and Main
I took the long way back alone
A few tequila shots and all the love I've got
Are not enough to bring you home
