Why So Sad Lyrics
Last chance to get yourself set up
Last chance to settle for me
Come out and meet your old dream girl
With her pint of Tanqueray
And drink up to the romance
Of the cactus and the manta ray
Last chance for an acre and a third
And an orchard of words
Come see a show-offy sundown
At the end of the world
And we could ride off into it
But you won't take the bit
And you could be a rose, you smell so fine
And yours are the biggest thorns along the vine
Last chance for a table dance myself
And the snake on the shelf
Hear a song from a teller of fish tales
Obsessed with herself
One last chance to make one last mistake
So if you take the reins I'll take the speed
And if you take the plunge this time I'll take the heat
Why so sad?
This was all right there, in my love letters
In red ink right there, in my love letters
In red ink right there, in my love letters
Last chance to settle for me
Come out and meet your old dream girl
With her pint of Tanqueray
And drink up to the romance
Of the cactus and the manta ray
And an orchard of words
Come see a show-offy sundown
At the end of the world
And we could ride off into it
But you won't take the bit
And yours are the biggest thorns along the vine
And the snake on the shelf
Hear a song from a teller of fish tales
Obsessed with herself
One last chance to make one last mistake
And if you take the plunge this time I'll take the heat
This was all right there, in my love letters
In red ink right there, in my love letters
In red ink right there, in my love letters

From Tanya's Bandcamp: "Another song written with Rick Moody. Most of the words for this one came from a lyrical poem Rick sent me called Last Chances, an itemized list for an existential yard sale. Sad and funny, Moody-style. It was hard to boil it down to just one song; there were so many bleak and beautiful images to choose from."
