Hello my name is Ishmael
|
Forget the one about the whale
|
I'll tell you of a broken-hearted sailor
|
|
Maggie took my loyalty,
|
I treated her like royalty
|
What starts out with such promise ends in failure
|
|
Oh my love I can't stand to be alone
|
But I been drinkin' too much
|
I better go home
|
And I think here I'm better of alone
|
But I been thinking too much
|
I better go home
|
|
All hail the Queen of cruelty
|
She has duly been anointed
|
These final word "her majesty" had to say
|
"He who expects nothing never will be disappointed"
|
Nothing's what she left me so I guess i'm OK
|
|
Oh my love I can't stand to be alone
|
But I been drinkin' too much
|
I better go home
|
And I think here we all stand alone
|
But I been thinking too much
|
I better go home
|
|
Lie lie lie lie lie
|
Lie lie lie lie lie
|
|
A promise made to a tab unpaid
|
It's home I wade to my bed unmade
|
A fool to think that I could ever change her
|
A king upon my barstool throne
|
I vow to never drink alone
|
I only drink with friends or total strangers
|
|
We're all broken hearted here
|
We're all broken hearted here
|
We're all broken hearted here
|
We're all broken
|
|
Oh my love I can't stand to be alone
|
But I been drinkin' too much
|
I better go home
|
And I think here we all stand alone
|
But I been thinking too much
|
I better go home
|
I better go home
|
I better go home
|
I better go home
|
I better go home
|
I better go home
|
