There's a girl I know.
She used to be my Domino.
Let her sway and fall into me
on a bender.
There's a place I go
where the drinks stay cheap
and the lights stay low,
but I can't for the best of me remember
the ugly things she'd say to me
before she turned away from me.
Burned my eyes, so I can't see
Now I-don't-know-what.
But she's my sunshine.
Teeth stained with red wine.
Keeps me at low tide.
She's my sunshine.
When she threw my keys
off the eleventh story balcony,
I was saved in a bastion of methomania.
Gotta save my soul,
'cause you can't lean in to Domino.
I give up. Got my white flag out.
I surrender.
'Cause we've got hell to overpay,
and if these clouds would float away
I'd avert my eyes and I would say
I-don't-know-what...
But she's my sunshine.
Teeth stained with red wine.
Keeps me at low tide.
She's my sunshine.
