A Lifeboat

If envy was tequila And jealousy strong beer We could throw a party That would last throughout the year If envy was a lifeboat And jealousy its oar We could brave the tempest And safely row a-shore 'Cause your face is flushed And your eyes are bloodshot red You can't take it on your own So you take a stranger home instead Don't you know the road gets restless Spending all those nights alone 'Til I make my way back to you Waiting faithfully at home Now you break out in a sweat You swallow your throat dry You come down with a fever Caught living in a lie Now your face is flushed And your eyes are bloodshot red You can't take it on your own So you take a stranger home instead Your clothes they smell of perfume Your lips are stained with wine Why'd you give yourself away When you know that you are mine
