Allison Foley Lyrics by Better Than Ezra

Allison Foley

"CALMLY, LIKE A RAZOR
I GOT US ON THE DOOR,"
OR "I GOT A TAPE OF 'CLERKS'
SOMEONE LEFT THE NIGHT BEFORE."

SO I GO OVER LATER,
YOU'RE SITTING IN THAT CHAIR
SMOKING ON YOUR CIGARETTE
FINGERING YOU HAIR

SO I GET DRUNK AND STONED,
EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND.

TWENTY-NINE AND AIMLESS
YOU BARTEND DOWN ON FOURTH
YOUR PARENTS PAY INSURANCE
AND THE PARSON'S AUDIT COURSE

OVER-SCHOOLED AND UNINSPIRED
A TRUST FUND UP YOUR NOSE
ALL THAT WASTED TALENT BUT, UH
AIN'T THAT HOW IT ALWAYS GOES?

SO I GET DRUNK AND STONED,
EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND.
YEAH, YEAH YEAH

SO LONG ALISON FOLEY
SO LONG, BYE-BYE

(COME UP HIGHER, TAKE A STEP HIGHER)
SOMETIMES YOU UNDERSTAND
THE REASONS HOW YOU WENT ASTRAY
BUT LEAST OF ALL THE ANSWER,
THAT IT HURTS TO WATCH YOU WASTE AWAY.

SO I GET DRUNK AND STONED,
EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

SO LONG, ALISON FOLEY
SO LONG, BYE-BYE
