The Usual Lyrics - John Hiatt

I'm trippin over dumb drunks at a party 

Girlfriend just ran off with the DJ 

I give her everything, but she refused it 

It doesn't matter, she don't know how to use it 

My confidence is dwindling 

Look at the shape I'm in 

Where's my pearls, where's my swine? 

I'm not thirsty, but I'm standing in line. 

I'll have the usual 

I'll have the usual 

Fifty silhouettes bumpin' on the dance floor 

Pink elephants fallin' through a trap door 

Sixty cigarettes a day 'cause I'm nervous 

When will that bitch serve us? 

I used to be a good boy, livin' the good life 

Fifty thousand kisses later she was a housewife 

She was good, I was unkind 

I'm not thirsty, but I'm standin' in line 

I'll have the usual 

I'll have the usual 

(on the rocks) 

(two ice cubes) 

(and a little umbrella)

Big Jim says the second comin's comin' 

I think he's just seein' double or something 

Or something 

You can hang around waiting for the also rans 

I can't win, but I've seen enough, man 

A fifth of whisky he could knock it away 

I drink some more and it's judgment day 

I had a future, but she just passed out 

I'm gonna drink until I see what it is I wanna think about 

I'll have the usual 

I'll have the usual 

I'll have the usual 

On the rocks 

With a twist
