Ishmael and Maggie

Hello, my name is Ishmael

Forget the one about the whale

I'll tell you of a broken-hearted sailor

Maggie took my loyalty

I treated her like royalty

What starts out with such promise ends in failure

Oh, my love, I can't stand to be alone

And I've been drinkin' too much, I better go home

And I think here I'm better off alone

But I've been thinking too much, I better go home

All hail the queen of cruelty

She has duly been anointed

These final words her majesty had to say

"He who expects nothing never will be disappointed"

Nothing's what she left me, so I guess I'm okay

Oh, my love, I can't stand to be alone

And I've been drinkin' too much, I better go home

And I think here we all stand alone

But I've been thinking too much, I better go home

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

A promise made to a tab unpaid

It's home, I wade to my bed unmade

A fool to think that I could ever change her

A king upon my barstool throne

I vow to never drink alone

I only drink with friends or total strangers

We're all broken-hearted here

We're all broken-hearted here

We're all broken-hearted here

We're all broken

Oh, my love, I can't stand to be alone

And I've been drinkin' too much, I better go home

And I think here we all stand alone

But I've been thinking too much, I better go home

I better go home

I better go home

I better go home

I better go home

I better go home

Ah, that was great

Let's do it again
