Alex

Alex, Short and Sweet
Leave your boyfriends at home and the drinks are on me next week
He seems like a real good guy
But you’re only as good as your last goodbye
Alex, let your long hair down
Like the prettiest brush you could ever use to paint this town
Because you know as well as I do
That we’re only as good as our last goodbyes
«What will we do, where will we go?»
Alexandra, I don’t really know
«When will it end?» Whenever you want it to
Alex, to your health
May you never outgrow the need to outdo yourself
And heed the jealous cry
Of a sitting duck stuck to his last goodbye
Skyward they flew 'til it was as far
To the street as it was to the stars
And to stardust as peanut shells on the parlor floor
«What have we done, where have we gone?»
Nothing, above and beyond
«When will it end?» Alexandra, it’s already done
I told you honey, short and sweet
It’s a damn sight better than long and bitter, don’t you think?
Keep your feet wet and your eyes dry
'cause you’re only as good as your last goodbye
You’re only as good as your last goodbye
Yeah, you’re only as good as your last goodbye
