Cover art for Shannon lyrics by Margot & the Nuclear So and So's

Shannon you're smothering me.

Shannon you can have my backbone if you want.

Yeah fine, boss me around.

Shannon you're smothering me.

Shannon stop smothering me.

I can be a good man for you.

Shannon I love you.

(False promises)

Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna go down to drink with my buddies for an hour or so if that's okay.

(Spends the next 25 years drinking with his buddies for "an hour or so")
