The Jugular Lyrics by Mal Blum

Goodnight Sugarpop

2008

I went to the bar and ran into your friends
They all pretended to care how I’ve been
I have been fine
Just for the record
Or at least I have been making an effort
And I had a problem
But you had an attitude
Nothing that I could say was good enough for you
I had the good sense
To hide in my car
‘Cause when you get angry
You go for the jugular
I could have stayed there
All night
I could have stayed there
And love felt like nothing that I’d felt before
Like I’d been let out, like I’d been run over
And I was an animal
I was a child
And maybe I felt nothing
But you sure felt dignified
I could have stayed there
All night
I could have stayed there
I kicked the habit
And you kicked my ass
Tough love ain’t free
But we sell it on tap
It’s a pretty good price
But you’ll hate what you’re getting
Still, who wants to spend every night just forgetting
That I could have stayed there
I could have stayed there
And thank you for asking
My jugular’s fine
But I hate your friends
And they’re not even mine
And thanks for pretending
To be so damn helpful but fuck all you guys!
You were always such assholes to me!
And I could have stayed there
And I could have stayed there
Alone
I went to the bar and ran into your friends
They all just pretended to care how I’ve been
I don’t really know where I was before then
I don’t really know who I was before then
