THE ZENO SONG

Artists : Lemonadestand : THE ZENO SONG

Your suggestion was we spend a quiet night and stay at home
That might've happened if I hadn't heard the ring and grabbed the phone
It was Zeno, he invited us, "Come over, let's hang out"
I said okay, you weren't too happy, I detected a slight pout

I started drinking 'cause it helps my conversation
I started drinking and you blew your top
I kept on drinking to decrease my trepidation
I couldn't help it if I couldn't stop

If you hadn't left me
Then I wouldn't have got that drunk last night
If you hadn't left me
Then I might have made it to work all right


Zeno drinks red wine, Early Times, gin and stout
Zeno downloads nudies like you read about


"Stay here and drink, you fucking loser," were your last words, I recall
I watched you leave and then stood up and banged my head against the wall
Zeno offered me some whiskey, I said "Okay, just a taste"
By 10:15, I was half-naked, high and totally shit-faced

My last chance for redemption was for you to call me
My last chance to avoid an ugly night
Instead I wound up in a place down on 16th street
Zeno and I betting on a cock fight

If you hadn't left me
Then I wouldn't have got that drunk last night
If you hadn't left me
Then I might have made it to work all right
Chorus
