Mike Doughty - Laundrytown Lyrics

She was a glamorous Anglo
Cocktail waitress
Said "What a severe drag
This man is half out of whack
Why should I have to
Mop up his dribble with a rag?"

And when she gets back in half an hour
She gets stoned and watches opera

And well I dream that she aims to be the bloom upon my misery
Lose her once
I have the means
For tiny cards and Vegas queens

And when she gets back in half an hour
She gets stoned and watches opera
Strings? that coax some tears outta her
Well, she drinks beer and takes a Tylenol

She was open but
I failed to use it
I failed to use it
I failed to use it
I failed to use it
I failed to use it
I failed to use it
I failed to use it

She gets stoned and watches
She gets stoned and watches
She gets stoned and watches
Opera
Opera
Opera
