Track 11 from the LP "Bachelor Pad Blue; Bent Pants & Stray Cats" by Patrick Porter (2009)
lyrics
LIZZY TURTLE LAYLO
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c.2009)
I sighed so hard
I made the birds fly away
Into the hardly air
Like, "And lastly so"
A chain biting a dog
I said into the phone: "Baby"
I say Lay Lo
I say Lay Lo
Is this my hometown
Or just the end of the road
In the face of all the aims?
I drank a little one
It just made me feel dumb
I've been that way a lot lately
I say Lay Lo
I say Lay Lo
I slept on the couch
At Lizzy's house
Except I couldn't sleep at all
Everybody was gone
And I was alone
I've been that a lot lately
