Ugly Lights

I don't remember when the liquor started kicking in

It's been a while since I been off the stuff

I really hate to say I'm turning into a cliché

I'm hoping that nobody brings it up

I left my car behind the bar again last sunday night

I did the monday morning drive ashamed

And last night's clothes they smell like smoke

But I don't know how I got home

But I do know my head'll hurt all day

But I still go and stay too late

And be the girl bartenders hate

The one that doesn't need another one

When the Romeos and Juliets

Have bummed all of my cigarettes

The last kiss in the parking lot is done

I'll be sitting here alone

When the ugly lights come on

Well everybody's got a spark

It's easy hiding in the dark

In a crowded room with pockets full of rings

I sit and watch the whiskey pour

The merriment, the exidor

The beginning of another matchbook flame

And i don't try to justify

The reason i'm not living right

I wear my sadness like a souvenir

I drink to much to fall apart that's how I fight this broken heart

So what, if I feel comfortable in here

But I still go and stay too late

And be the girl bartenders hate

The one that doesn't need another one

When the Romeos and Juliets

Have bummed all of my cigarettes

The last kiss in the parking lot is done

I'll be sitting here alone

When the ugly lights come on

Hey
