Nobody Wants to Come to My Pity Party

Post by Lightning Rod » November 27th, 2007, 3:54 pm

Banquet In Solitaire

I can't do anything right
I can't write and I can't play
nobody believes what I say
I'm a miserable failure at everything
what's left?

Excuse me
I'm feeling sorry for myself

women love me at first
but when they really get to know me
my sense of humor wears thin
and they chafe at buying my cigarettes

you don't want to invite anybody
to your pity party. No, it's a banquet in solitaire
a prom without dancing, no orchestra
a slim occasion better done
without invitations

I would invite you to my pity party
but I want to eat all the cake
drink the whole bar out
and waltz with myself until dawn

but I can't do anything right.
What's left?

Where the heck is stupid Bob when we need him?

sorry I can't come to your party
I have a bad case of samaritrophobia
And I am much too busy mourning myself

How can I envy you and feel sorry for you at the same time?

this is great, l-rod.

but what is a "banquet in solitaire" is that a special hand in the card game played in solitude.
I don't think 'Therefore, I am.' Therefore, I am.

I'd show up. Well, unless you drank the whole bar out, that is...
