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
