As real as the morning
As boundless as a dream
You might see her walking down Union
Sipping her coffee and smiling
She's the woman on the subway
She's the waitress that brings my tea
She's the girls that I grew up with
Locked inside my memory
Never met a girl
Never met a girl
Never met a girl I didn't love
Some of them were lovers
Some of them were friends
Some of them were mothers
Some I tried to hold and lost in the end
Some of them were lonely
Some of them were tough as nails
Some of them were holy
Some were as wild as the City itself
Never met a girl...
It's not sexy it's not needy
It's not friendship it's not lust
It's not desire or manipulation
It's not erotic it's just love
Never met a girl I didn't love somehow
Never met a girl I didn't love

Goodbye Amy
03:35

There ain't twenty-four hours of news,
but folks got to stay occupied.
So we broadcast every bruise
and post every suicide.
And we're still not happy.
We're still not satisfied.
There's another demise on the horizon
to fill up our tedious lives.
Goodbye, Amy. I'll miss you so much.
She'll feel so fucking used,
indisposed and broken.
The heroin and the muse
with her pipes still smoking.
There never was money
in her getting clean.
So she died a hundred times
in checkout magazines.
Goodbye, Amy. I'll miss you so much.

Whiskey To Be Free
03:40

I drink because I'm happy
I drink because I'm not
I drink to stop the sounding and the pounding of my heart
I drink when she's around me
I drink when she's away
I drink to feel the sadness
I drink to make it go away
There are a lot of good people who don't need whiskey to be free
That's just not me
I drink to kindle friendships
I drink when old ones end
I drink to make me happy
When the day just isn't working
I drink to quell the darkness in my wretched wasted soul
I drink because I'm broken
And sometimes because I'm whole
There are a lot of good people...
Ethan will you pour me one more double shot tonight
Cuz I don't like being alone at night
I'll be fine although I'm sure as hell not right
Pretty soon I'll be on my way home
I drink to stop the voices
Drink to loosen up my tongue
Drink to face the parts of myself that I don't wanna speak of
Drink and feign being tougher
Drink and lose my friends
Drink and think about my lovers
I drink to get closer to the end
There are a lot of good people....
