50 Bourbon St. - The Black Halos

If there’s a Lover’s Graveyard

I’m sure she’s digging me a grave

I’m sure my marker will read

«World's Biggest Sucker For a Pretty Face»

Every time I think I’ve finally found my mate

she feels scared or she feels trapped

and eventually escapes

So now I’m loving the bottle

I’m trying to kill the pain

lips wrapped around it like the end of a gun

I’m gonna drink her love away

Yeah, love is for losers

the greatest lovers were fools

love will pick you up and bury you down in the dumps

it’ll make a cold stiff one out of you

I don’t know why I fall for it

it’s so cliche

life’s some kind of twisted game

I just can’t help but play

I’m a pawn and they’re all queens

they know all the secret moves

and just when I think I’ve won

they always go and change the rules

Yeah, love’s like a bar-tab

You just drink it away

It just keeps on building up

and in the end you’ve gotta pay

so now I’m hitting on a waitress

I keep calling her «nurse»

love will leave you like an empty glass

when you’re dying of thirst

Can I have just one more beer nurse?

Can’t you see I’m dying here now nurse?

Can’t you see I’m too dry for tears now nurse?

Oh, nurse…

Can I have just one more beer nurse?

Yeah if you need to find me

Well you know where I’ve been

I’m committing suicide
