I Can't Stay Here Tonight

I can't stay here tonight

there's buttons to sew

and lust to be made to seem tenderwith a freshened up face

and smile-bearing lips

I'll practice it, locked in the bathroomwe can't stay here tonight

this waitress is tired

of waging a war of attrition

so pay for the coffee

and we'll take it to go

and you hold the cup while I'm driving

I can't stay here tonight

there's blankets to fold

and love to make polished and silver

and store it away behind memory's glass

we'll take it out when we get lonely
