lyrics

I'm calling in favors.
I'm taking out loans,
But my spirit wavers
When I'm all alone.

I'm looking for reasons
Not to do myself in.
You are one of them,
And you've always been.

















9:11 SECRET SONG

This is the last song I'll be writing for you.
You have been demoted to
A passing acquaintance, nothing more.
Then you walk through the door:
Did I once know you? I'm not sure.

This is the last time I'll be calling you drunk.
You understand that I am in a funk.
I'm so alone and I am so trashed
And all this must be rehashed,
Like a check I never cashed.

This is the last time I'll be sleeping with you.
I love you. Well, I love to use you too.
It's nothing that I am sorry for.
Though I know this choice is poor,
Here I am, fucking on the floor.

Careful, baby.
You know I'm crazy.
You might get fooled,
Get pulled in.

Hard times in Hollywood.
It beat the goodness out of being good.
Yeah, hard times in Hollywood.
It beat the goodness out of being good
So the bottom line is,
The bottom line is:
I'm getting tired.
And the bottom line is,
The bottom line is:
It's been such a long time since this transpired.

This is the last time we'll be out on a date.
I guess all the packing can wait.
Let's just enjoy our second course,
And though it's something you can't force:
I'm leaving you.
