lyrics

after rosh hashanah, the old man despairs
it's up to me and donna to finish the apples and pears

cut the bruise out with a knife
i can count the years of my life on my two hands
somewhere a band plays "lover man"

wonder where you've got to with egg on your face
don't do what you ought to though tuesday you turn twenty-eight

everybody needs some time
but i can count the years of this night on my two hands
and man, gddamn, ain't it bland?

in the backseat you tell me that you told me so
and though i don't know what that could mean
i'm nodding along like i do
oh, the truth is no one knows the truth
does gd only do what she has to?
make some room

when donna plays hangman, it's a pointless game
it's all the same slang and every other time it's her name

somehow still we guess all night
drawing shoes, a face, and a tie to save the man
we name him stan, he's still standing

rosy-cheeked and tipsy, you play us a song
and though i don't know what it could be
i'm nodding along like i do
oh, the truth is i don't think it's true
that you only do what you have to,
make some room

a pinch of salt over your shoulder guarantees immunity,
that's what my grandma told me
like ladies with dogs, as we get older, every week i look more like you
or do you look more like me?

i don't think it's funny how much you're alone
i'll bribe you with real money to get you to talk on the phone

everybody has a light
but i can count the times i've seen mine on my two hands
i'll serve the man overhand

under the arch you say i look like me
and though i don't know what that could mean,
we're moving along like i do,
oh, the truth is none of this is new
if gd only does what she has to,
make some room
