i was listening with my left ear
and not caring with my right
other people's conversations
usually it's not my business
but i have to half listen
for unspoken invitations
this season has me working harder
extra careful with my nights
i can't shake feeling satisfied
tonight i'll wear my fall dress
in honor of the season
drink to everything that has died
or
you are my pretty friend
and you were the handsome cousin
of another pretty friend
so I had to listen in
on what you were saying
but it did not pertain to me
the holidays are here
we're busy at the bakery
and cold nights are here
so I've pulled out my sweaters
but I stay warm by the
power of positive drinking
or
I hear everything because I'm always listening.
It's not all the time that anyone says anything.
But sometimes we do.
I am good at my job and when we're busy I know it.
I pick out my work clothes the night before.
And dress up before I go out drinking.
