Missing Person

[Verse] I am lipsticked like a tart In the cherry red of Côtes-du-Rhône Prodding at the little fire of my phone The lights behind the bar Twinkle like they've always known Only desperate little men ever drink alone [Chorus] But as long as I'm here I'm disappeared and it's vanishing I'm a missing person doing my thing [Verse] As midnight strikes I slip into this queen of dives And quietly oblivion like sleep arrives But I couldn't live without This sewer of a place to be Alone with my onе obsession - me, me, mе Yeah, I can hear you remonstrate You fool, that's three [Chorus] What I'm doing here Ain't drinking beer, it's vanishing I'm a missing person doing my thing Just a missing person doing my thing [Bridge] Missing the time I threw your crutch away And ruined a perfect day Now it’s all ruins from here to daybreak [Verse] So I hang on to my chair In this fish tank of sinking stars Pickling their memories in Mason jars I head out for a smoke Leave your ghost there to hold my place And line up with the other cheaters in disgrace Like runners in exile From the human race [Chorus] But as long as I'm here This last brutal year is vanishing I’m a missing person doing my thing Just a missing person doing my thing
