Jack’s Mannequin
La la lie - live from delray beach
Guess what I'm done writing you songs
You'll give up your job at the bank
Proving money's not fun when you're gone
So this is the first verse
It's not very long
But I'm ready to move on
Guess what I'm done writing your book
The ending got twisted around
But for all the hell that it took
The electrical wires
They'll hum in the walls
In the room that I rent now without you
I've got friends who la la lie
Will help me pull through la la lie
La la la lie
The spaceman that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right
So guess what I'm done
Drawing your pictures
I'm dulling the day with a drink
In a parking garage by the theater
We met for a movie
Every scene was a sign
We made out through their meaning
I've got friends who la la lie
Will help me pull through la la lie
La la la lie
The spaceman that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Guess what I'm done writing you songs
I'm far too unstable to settle
I doubt that the doctors are wrong
So I'll wait by a palm tree
A palm tree, a palm tree
I've got friends who la la lie
Will help me pull through la la lie
La la la lie
The spaceman that can't get high
I'm coming back to my girl by July
I've got friends who la la lie
Will help me pull through la la lie
La la la lie
This song for a long goodbye
I'm coming back
I'm coming back to my girl
(La la la lie)
Back to my girl
(La la lie, la la la lie)
This song for a long goodbye
I'm coming back to my girl by July
