The Usual — текст песни (John Hiatt)

Im trippin over dumb drunks at a party

Girlfriend just ran off with the dj

I give her everything, but she refused it

It doesnt matter, she dont know how to use it

My confidence is dwindling

Look at the shape Im in

Wheres my pearls, wheres my swine?

Im not thirsty, but Im standing in line.

Ill have the usual

Ill have the usual



Fifty silhouettes bumpin on the dance floor

Pink elephants fallin through a trap door

Sixty cigarettes a day cause Im 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

Im not thirsty, but Im standin in line

Ill have the usual

Ill have the usual

(on the rocks)

(two ice cubes)

(and a little umbrella)



Big jim says the second comins comin

I think hes just seein double or something

Or something

You can hang around waiting for the also rans

I cant win, but Ive seen enough, man

A fifth of whisky he could knock it away

I drink some more and its judgment day

I had a future, but she just passed out

Im gonna drink until I see what it is I wanna think about

Ill have the usual

Ill have the usual

Ill have the usual

On the rocks

With a twist
