The Last Time

from Pop Another Cork by Billy Dechand

/

lyrics

He said the first thing to come to your mind,
the little prick proves you're awake, alone
again, these are your hands this is your bed,
its lonely frontiers wide and cold.

Bandaged thick with sheets and sleep
and unreasonable dreams . . .
get up, tear the pictures down,
scrub their shadows from the walls,
you'll never look at them again

(like) it's the last time

You thought because he was dancing close
(that) he was dancing with you
you've nailed every dip and turn,
learn the steps to exit gracefully.

Flickers of hope, blaze a maze
you've followed him in so long . . .
only a bitch forgets cleanly
once the memories are aired from every shirt and sheet
and beaten from the pillow.

This is the last time, just like
just like the second last time, . . .

He was the first man she ever trusted
he was the second man she ever trusted
she's had it now she says this is
the next-to-last time,
the very next-to-last time.

Just like the last time
like the second last time
like the third last time
Just like...
