lyrics
We met at a bar
When I sidled next to you
I said "Hey there lonely can I buy you a drink?"
You said I'd better make it two
I said I could love you
Then watched your cheeks flush reddish hue
We made our way to a cheap bed
Then stripped out of our clothes
Said "Everyone you'll ever love
"Is gonna die so lets discompose."
Then you called me your cowboy
As you brushed back my hair
Spent the following days in a constant state
Of self-congratulatory
Projections of my prowess as
The hero in this story
The sun peaked in and cast it's light
Across your breast
I stood in the doorway as you said you adore me
And demanded I kiss your neck
You said you could love me
Then watched my cheeks flush reddish hue
I made my way across the room
With a couple of drinks
We downed 'em fast for intended effect
Then retreated underneath
'Cause love is a time bomb
So start the countdown from three
Spent the following days in a constant state
Of self-congratulatory
Projections of my prowess as
The hero in this story
When I sidled next to you
I said "Hey there lonely can I buy you a drink?"
You said I'd better make it two
I said I could love you
Then watched your cheeks flush reddish hue
We made our way to a cheap bed
Then stripped out of our clothes
Said "Everyone you'll ever love
"Is gonna die so lets discompose."
Then you called me your cowboy
As you brushed back my hair
Spent the following days in a constant state
Of self-congratulatory
Projections of my prowess as
The hero in this story
The sun peaked in and cast it's light
Across your breast
I stood in the doorway as you said you adore me
And demanded I kiss your neck
You said you could love me
Then watched my cheeks flush reddish hue
I made my way across the room
With a couple of drinks
We downed 'em fast for intended effect
Then retreated underneath
'Cause love is a time bomb
So start the countdown from three
Spent the following days in a constant state
Of self-congratulatory
Projections of my prowess as
The hero in this story
