American Aquarium - Last Stand lyrics

She was glassy eyed at the
Bar someone stole the
Keys to her heart the neon lights they
Bent the bottles on the shelf so she bought
Another round to feel sorry for herself

She'll drink when she's down she'll drink
When he's not around she'll
Drink away her paycheck she'll drink
Cause she's trying to forget

On a barstool with time to pass
She peels away the label from
A longneck glass her
Cheeks are as red as the leaves in
The fall and she keeps looking down
Expecting him to call

She'll drink when she's down she'll drink
When he's not in town she'll
Drink away her paycheck she'll drink
Cause she's trying to forget

The bottle's on the desktop
The guitars in my hand like a
Five star general making his last
Stand with every passing second
With every painful shot I realize just who
I am and what I'm not

I'll drink when I'm down i'll drink when
No one else is around i'll drink
Every dime of my check i'll drink cause
I got so much to forget
