Afternoon Lamentations

Hey, old pal of mine/Partner in crime
Most of the time
I got a bottle of wine/Needin’ some close inspection

Let’s sit down for a while/Chase a few smiles
Rememberin how
We never dreamed we’d know/These afternoon lamentations


I’ve got a new telephone/ It’ll beam you to Rome
Tell you how to drive home
But when I’m all alone/I know that my stuff will not save me

I’ve got a house on the hill/All the right pills, big time to kill
But I can’t find a new thrill/Nothing that’s shakin can move me

I miss those glory days/Maximum bliss, minimum pain
Now I just watch the rain/Filling my afternoons

So Hey, old pal of mine/Partner in crime
Let’s finish this wine/Cause I gotta go find my girl
And sing her these lamentations
I gotta go find my girl and sing her these lamentations
