You'll get used to it after awhile
It comes in waves, puts lines on your face
And your little pretty drink spilled down your pretty dress
Just who down in hell are you trying to impress?
She so universal, escorted and princes in robes
A brittle Judy Garland with a shiny runny nose
She cried as she approached the last and final page
Please don't let this end with him locked in a cage
So shines a good deed in your dark and weary world
Today is the first day of the rest of your life
You bite down on your tongue, step out on the ice
In the wee hours of morning before a single ray of sun
You're off in your carriage on another beer run
And your fresh out of college with your masters and degrees
But what good are they now to an endangered species?
So wake from your slumber and run down to the trees
And you rip back the paper and you tear off the ribbon
There's all you ever wanted, you've been forgiven
