lyrics

[Verse 1]

I needed to want her
I could not do better
I wanted to need her
But I had just met her

[Chorus]

"Taking tequila and cigarettes
Will help you to sleep,"
That's what she said
Taking the gist of her request
Making an evening to myself

[Verse 2]

I wore my pink t-shirt
Thought I’d get in for sure
She schooled me like a teacher
Then said, "Hey, it's my pleasure!"

[Chorus]

"Taking tequila and cigarettes
Will help you to sleep,"
That's what she said
Taking the gist of her request
Making an evening to myself

[Bridge]

Ankle-deep in tributary streams
Grace upon her throne
I can’t help this force of habit
I can't be on my own...

[Chorus]

"Taking tequila and cigarettes
Will help you to sleep,"
That's what she said
Taking the gist of her request
Making an evening to myself

[Outro]

Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep, you idiot
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep, you idiot
