Afternoon Tea - The Smithereens

Afternoon tea for a party of one

This is the extent of my fun

Crying inside for a life thrown away

I’m losing my mind in a silent way

Angry at God for what never should be

Lovers and others together, not me

Take me away when I’m done with my afternoon tea

Afternoon tea as the sun fades away

No future plans

Here to live day to day

One lonely man who is shunned and betrayed

I’m telling myself I am strong not afraid

Angry at God for what never should be

Lovers and others together, not me

Take me away when I’m done with my afternoon tea

Angry at God for what never should be

Lovers and others together, not me

Take me away when I’m done with my afternoon tea

What have I done to deserve such disgrace?

Look at me and you’ll see on my face

Angry at God for what never should be

Lovers and others together, not me

Take me away when I’m done with my afternoon tea

Afternoon tea
