Here's a B side that was recorded for Everything in Transit. It's one of my
favorite Jack songs. Hope you like it =]
Verse 1:
I heard that you went out last night
And you looked beautiful,
Just like a bat beneath the moonlight
I stayed home, took a Vicadin
Sometimes it's all that I can do
When I think about the president
How did he become the president?
And I stayed awake for a day or two
I thought about the world
Drank gin and watched the news
And there are some things that I'll never understand
Why a country needs a God
And a woman nee-ds a ma -an
Chorus:
And you never write me letters
And you never sent my sweaters
So I could stay warm when I was without you
Without you I don't sleep
Just a dream
Verse 2:
And I scratched these words into a black notebook
I wrote your name on top, I knew you'd never look
And i tried my best to fight the atmosphere
To think the happy thoughts that leave the phone lines clear
I see Arizona stars from here
But Peter Pan is miles away
Chorus:
And you never write me letters
And you never sent my sweaters
So I could stay warm when I was without you
Without you I don't have
A place that's safe from all the monsters
That hide in my head
And sing me to sleep, sleep
This is the last straw
This is the last straw, She said
Bridge:
Well I won't wait for you forever
When you run around like JFK
And watch that poor girl waste the best years of her life
And I'll be damned if I am going out, I will not go out that way
Instrumental:
Chorus:
And you never write me letters
And you never sent my sweaters
So you could stay warm when I was gone
Without you I don't have
A place that's safe from all the monsters
That hide in my head
And keep me 'till dawn
I think this is the last straw
