Conversation On A Barstool

(album: A Perfect Stranger: The Island Anthology - 1998)

I'm tired, so tired I can hardly stand
I can't breathe in the air in this city tonight
It's taken everything I had to give
And now I just want to get out of here

But I won't be sorry if you won't be
And I don't want your pity or your sympathy
But for forty-five dollars I can make it
You wait and see

He came from Miami to start out again
To leave him was easy, I did it all the time
He said that he loved me and he wanted a child
If he opened his mouth, he was telling you lies

But I won't be sorry if you won't be
And I don't want your pity or your sympathy
But for thirty-five dollars I can make it
You wait and see

I was an actress, a girl in the Chorus
On Broadway I danced for a Kennedy
They know me in London and they know me in Paris
I'm only talking 'cause you looked like you needed a friend

But I won't be sorry if you won't be
And I don't want your pity or your sympathy
But for twenty-five dollars I'm half-way
To Miami
