it is good news to be alone
it feels so right to wake up on my own
now darling since you're gone

everyday a holiday
eveynight i lead a new parede
until the stars fade away

now you can go and write me a letter
you can point out the worst in me
you can take our pictures,
drag them down the street
and you can go and say good morning
to the morning in the door
you can say everything's just perfect
that's the world

the sun did shine but shone too late
to warm the roses by the windown pane
now they're roses just in name


and me myself i feel quite worn,
the season's been the coldest i've ever known
and i'm afraid i've slept too long

now you can go and write me a letter
you can point out the worst in me
you can take our pictures,
drag them down the street
and you can go and say good morning
to the morning in the door
you can say everything's just perfect
that's the world

and we'll pretend we are drunk
yes, we'll pretend we are drunk
