An Evening to Myself / Intro to After (live on CiTR, 9-18-2008) Lyrics by PAINT

Can You Hear Me? (15th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)

2023

[Verse 1]
I needed to want her
I could not do better
I wanted to need her
But I had just met her
[Chorus]
"Taking tequila and cigarettes
Will help you to sleep,"
That's what she said
Taking the gist of her request
Making an evening to myself
[Verse 2]
I wore my pink t-shirt
Thought I’d get in for sure
She schooled me like a teacher
Then said, "Hey, it's my pleasure!"
[Chorus]
"Taking tequila and cigarettes
Will help you to sleep,"
That's what she said
Taking the gist of her request
Making an evening to myself
[Bridge]
Ankle-deep in tributary streams
Grace upon her throne
I can’t help this force of habit
I can't be on my own...
[Chorus]
"Taking tequila and cigarettes
Will help you to sleep,"
That's what she said
Taking the gist of her request
Making an evening to myself
[Outro]
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep, you idiot
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep, you idiot
