My friend Laurie got her heart broke
I tried my best to pick the pieces up
But they were scattered from here all the way to Denver
She asked, "Why exactly do I do this?
Always find myself in the same old mess?
I seem to torture myself for my own amusement"
Take me out
Get me drunk
I'm worth it
Come on kiddo
Let's trip the lights fantastic
When Laurie dives in she goes headfirst
When she has made up her mind there is no swaying her
She defines tragedy as hobby
Takes Comfort in unhappiness
That's why defines herself by her relationships
And I find myself in over my head
Take me out
Get me drunk
I'm worth it
Come on kiddo
Let's trip the lights fantastic
She said, "Please could you light my cigarette?
I can't sleep and I feel like shit"
So I gave her a light and we stayed up all night
She explained as she packed her clothes
How in three days time she'll be leaving Chicago
That'll be the end, I'll never see her again
But for old times sake
Take me out
Get me drunk
I'm worth it
Come on kiddo
Let's trip the lights fantastic
