Taxes and Jail Lyrics by Mishka Shubaly

Coward’s Path

2015

[Verse 1]
She turns off the light in the bedroom
To make it easier to pretend I'm somebody new
Baby, I don't blame you for pretending
I'm pretending someone else, too
[Chorus]
So let's raise a glass to disappointment
Let's raise a glass to regret
Oh, what the hell
Let's raise a glass
To pretending that we never met
[Verse 2]
You won't hear from me that you're beautiful
Because it's your insecurity that keeps you around
But, baby, you know you can always count on me
When you need someone to let you down
[Chorus]
So let's raise a glass to disappointment
Let's raise a glass to regret
Oh, what the hell
Let's raise a glass
To pretending that we never met
[Verse 3]
You played nurse to my wounded soldier
And dammit, that skirt fit you well
But you were such a sweet kid
Stuck with an invalid
Surprised you lasted as long as you did
[Outro]
So let's raise a glass to failed ventures
Let's raise a glass to plans gone awry
My love was as big as the Titanic
Is that an iceberg between your thighs?
So let's raise a glass to cheap shots
Let's raise a glass to betrayal
God dammit all to hell
Let's raise a glass
Let's raise a glass to everything failed
Yeah, let's drink to taxes and jail
