The Usual Lyrics by John Hiatt

The Usual Lyrics

    I'm trippin over dumb drunks at a party
    Girlfriend just ran off with the dj
    I give her everything, but she refused it
    It doesn't matter, she don't know how to use it
    My confidence is dwindling
    Look at the shape i'm in
    Where's my pearls, where's my swine?
    I'm not thirsty, but i'm standing in line.
    I'll have the usual
    I'll have the usual

    Fifty silhouettes bumpin' on the dance floor
    Pink elephants fallin' through a trap door
    Sixty cigarettes a day 'cause i'm nervous
    When will that bitch serve us?
    I used to be a good boy, livin' the good life
    Fifty thousand kisses later she was a housewife
    She was good, i was unkind
    I'm not thirsty, but i'm standin' in line
    I'll have the usual
    I'll have the usual
    (on the rocks)
    (two ice cubes)
    (and a little umbrella)

    Big jim says the second comin's comin'
    I think he's just seein' double or something
    Or something
    You can hang around waiting for the also rans
    I can't win, but i've seen enough, man
    A fifth of whisky he could knock it away
    I drink some more and it's judgment day
    I had a future, but she just passed out
    I'm gonna drink until i see what it is i wanna think about
    I'll have the usual
    I'll have the usual
    I'll have the usual
    On the rocks
    With a twist
