alison cries on a radio monday
lipstick goodbyes and a promise to call
he's in a veiled illusion
she's out of mind
they're happy ever after
and so am i

cool in sorry town
i watch you drown
cool in sorry town
i'm alive

andrew expires on a valium sunday
ballpoint goodbyes full of rambling asides
his life's a failed illusion
he's killing time
he's happy ever after
and so am i

cool in sorry town
i watch you drown
cool in sorry town
i'm alive

i'm breaking stride on a cynical sunday
cool world goodbye said the fly on the wall
i'm in controlled confusion
i'm mister fine
so happy ever after

cool in sorry town
i watch you drown
cool in sorry town
i'm alive
i watch you drown
cool in sorry town
i'm alive
