Where's Mantis Evar? Lyrics - Headquarters - Monkey House

I'm standing on the corner of tragedy and vine 

A lonely worn out mourner stopping at the sign 

My dog just died I haven't cried 'til now 

I spent the last two dollars that i could borrow 

trying to get to Gotham by tomorrow 

I should learn how to drive, but I'm barely alive 

And there's only one guy that I know give me his car 

Where's Mantis Evar he'd know what to say 

he'd be strumming on his guitar and living for today 

where's mantis Evar he'd know what to do 

He'd be passing me a cigar and bidding me adieu 

look at me ain't that a corker I can't beg a light 

My girl's back in New Yorker, my brother say's I'm shite 

They're getting hitched, your love's a bitch and how 

She say's where do be December 

That I'm the saddest one that she remembers 

I should learn how to drive, but I'm barely alive 

And there's only one guy that I know give me his car 

Where's Mantis Evar he'd know what to say 

he'd be strumming on his guitar and living for today 

where's mantis Evar he'd know what to do 

He'd be passing me a cigar and bidding me adieu 

[Instrumental] 

The street kids pass too near 

they mumble threats and curses 

And theres no cab still here 

just hummers, whores and hearses 

I'm waiting on the corner of comedy and vine 

Feeling like a foreigner pining for some wine 

And morning lights do feel so bright as I am 

there's no one here knows where he might be stayin' 

Maybe he left that is what they're all saying 

I should learn how to drive, but I'm barely alive 

And there's only one guy that I know give me his car 

Where's Mantis Evar he'd know what to say 

he'd be strumming on his guitar and living for today 

where's mantis Evar he'd know what to do 

He'd be passing me a cigar and bidding me adieu
