I Can't Stay Here Tonight
I can't stay here tonight
there's buttons to sew
and lust to be made to seem tender
with a freshened up face
and smile-bearing lips
I'll practice it, locked in the bathroom
we can't stay here tonight
this waitress is tired
of waging a war of attrition
so pay for the coffee
and we'll take it to go
and you hold the cup while I'm driving
I can't stay here tonight
there's blankets to fold
and love to make polished and silver
and store it away behind memory's glass
we'll take it out when we get lonely
there's buttons to sew
and lust to be made to seem tender
with a freshened up face
and smile-bearing lips
I'll practice it, locked in the bathroom
we can't stay here tonight
this waitress is tired
of waging a war of attrition
so pay for the coffee
and we'll take it to go
and you hold the cup while I'm driving
I can't stay here tonight
there's blankets to fold
and love to make polished and silver
and store it away behind memory's glass
we'll take it out when we get lonely
