lyrics

NOT WHAT I LIKE THE BEST
You're crying and I'm coughing
We're such a beautiful pair
if I'm forced to lie here
In this slippery bed a minute longer
I know that I'll regret what we do
We smell like a combination of
Strawberries, cold cream and bourbon
But that's NWILTB
That's NWILTB

The latex probably wasn't enough of a shield
And I'll be dead in six months
But since you're the only one left here to feel
I'll take my chances

You're smoking and I'm choking
As the alarm goes off
And I finally have an excuse to get up
But that's NWILTB
That's NWILTB
I beat the sickly, dying battery wail
With your tacky pump and I break a heel in the process
But that's NWILTB

The latex probably wasn't enough of a shield
And I'll be dead in six months
But since you're the only one left here to feel
I'll take my chances

The doorbell is ringing
And you start getting dressed
So I open the door and it's your girlfriend
She's stressed
And she's something to see in her
Ugly Seals & Crofts tank top from 1973
Then she runs her fingers through her beer-matted hair
Then she starts to blush so I try not to stare
But that's NWILTB
That's NWILTB

The latex probably wasn't enough of a shield
And I'll be dead in six months
But since you're the only one left here to feel
I'll take my chances

You grab your coat
And try to kiss me goodbye
I'm trying to smile but my lips are too dry
And I'll never see you again
And THIS is what I like the best
