but it just felt worse

and worse,

and I had to just...

I just had to come home

and tell you.

Is that it?

I don't know.

I... yeah?

Are you in love with him

at all?

No, no.

No, not at all.

Not at all.

It was just, like,

a really pathetic,

gross thing to do.

And...

You're okay, Jill.

[SLURPING]

So I say

we strike while the iron's hot.

You know, maybe even as early

as next week, hopefully?

We go out there

to Three Floyds,

and maybe, you know,

leave early,

like around 3:
00,

next Thursday or Friday,

whatever you think works...

whatever works for,

you know, a lot of the guys.

Hey.

[UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC]

[LAUGHS]

I tried your cocaine

Just to know

what it could do

I had to try it again

Just to give it

a second chance

But it tore out my soul

Passed out,

crashed out on a mat

And that

Was the end of that

Oh, lately

I've been such a drag

All down in the dumps,

man

Moping and dragging my feets

Coping

with a life of luxuries

Focused on my defeats

And all the things

it sucks to be

Like the Great One said

"It's a crock of crap"

And that

was the end of that

Here we go

Wait, don't go

No, no

You distract me so

And you make it so easy

To hide in the scenery

In your vintage jewelry

Like some

f***ed-up bumblebee

Heading for the potpourri

Of the ladies room

Wait, don't go

You turn me on so

With your bee-sting lips

And your pepper grinder hips

Like a thread and the needle

We're just typical people

We're hoping to be friends

Do cool stuff

And be equal

I think that's where it's at

Can't we just say

That that

Oh

Was the end of that

That was the end of that

Was the end of that

That

Was the end of that

That was the end of that

Was the end of that

That

Was the end of that

Mm

Was the end of that

Was the end of that, yeah

Was the end of that

Was the end of that

Was the end of that

Was the end of that, oh

Was the end of that

Was the end of that

Was the end of that

That was the end of that

Was the end of that

Was the end of that

That was the end of that

Was the end of that

Was the end of that

Was the end of that
