Drown Your Pain *

In that fancy restaurant
Order anything you want
Have some caviar and champagne
It’s a classy way to drown your pain
Classy way to drown your pain

Kid around with that waitress
Make believe she is your mistress
But try not to act too vain
It’s a classic way to drown your pain
Classic way to drown your pain

Been there before
Walked through that door
Seen that decor
It’s such a bore
You loved her even more
Than anyone before
But like Lenore
Nevermore
Nevermore
She’s gone forevermore

Have some Guiness in a pub
Drop by your favorite jazz club
Get a nice kick from cocaine
It’s an easy way to drown your pain
Easy way to drown your pain

But should you feel all alone
Please don’t call her on the phone
For what is there left to explain?
And that’s no way to drown your pain
That’s no way to drown your pain

There’s not much left to explain
And there’s no way to drown your pain
And there’s no way to drown your pain
