It’s raining out
It’s New Year’s Eve
I’m in LA
So I can’t feel it
You know how that is
There’s coffee here
But there’s no cream
Some bourbon in the freezer
But I can’t drink tonight
Can’t sink tonight
A man pays me for company
He does it cuz he knows I’ll stick
around that way
won’t run away
so I give him love and sympathy
but he don’t mean a thing to me
no not that way
and i
pay a man for company
I do it so that he can’t leave me
He can’t leave me, he can’t leave me,
And I need him so
But he can only see me
On a Thursday in his office
three pm to four
so oh, just look at ‘em go
it really makes the world go round
that money thing
so take one down and pass ‘em around
take one down and pass ‘em around
take one down and pass ‘em around uh huh
Oh, just look at ‘em blow
Whether it’s a bought or stolen it’s a
Temporary fling
So take one down and pass it around
Take one down and pass it around
Take one down and pass it around, uh huh
I’m in a bar
But it’s not me
There’s movie stars
And yoga freaks here
You know
How that is
A man in here,
He looks like you
The bartender
He should be you
And I should not
Be drinking
The price you pay
For solitude
I’m always so misunderstood
so oh, just let at ‘em go
it really makes the world go round
that money thing
so take one down and pass ‘em around
take one down and pass ‘em around
take one down and pass ‘em around uh huh
Oh, just look at ‘em blow
bought or stolen it’s a
Temporary fling
So take one down and pass it around
Take one down and pass it around
And pass it around
And pass it around
Take one down and pass it around, uh huh
I’m in a bar
But it’s not me
I’m in LA
So I can’t feel
You know
How that is
