The Saddest Song in the World

from When the Sangria Dies by Rupert Angeleyes

	/

lyrics

If our conversation was a ballroom
Then both of our legs would be broke
Because nothing graceful
will happen between you and me
I had the type of hangover
That’s pleasant if you have time to kill
And the sun was a peacock that rested on your windowsill
And I played with it as you said you wrote me out of your will

And I don’t want to fight you anymore
I want a cat to like my open sores
I want to get high and live on the ocean floor
I want to make out with you

As you spoke I closed my eyes
I had a vision of my own gravesite
And I saw someone holding a candle
Who looked just like you
Then you gave me a greasy hug
You filled up my coffee mug
You said you need a man
With a job, who brushes his teeth
But perfection is a bed so soft that you cant fall asleep

I don’t want to fight you anymore
I want a cat to lick my open sores
I want to get high and live on the moon
I want to make out with you

I don’t want to fight you anymore
I want a cat to lick my open sores
I want to get high and watch movies in your living room
I want to make out with you
