Lyrics for Draining the Pool for You
Remembered your name Evidently, you've forgotten mine You know a lot of people I know a mind dulled by work and wine I got hired but I got tired of draining the pool for you I got tired but not so blue to see the cracks in you I got hired against my wish with better prospects after this Ten leaves Ten leaves on a river bank Just like the glass From the champagne bottles smashed where they sank And I got hired but I got tired of draining the pool for you I got tired but not so blue to see the cracks in you I got hired against my wish with better prospects after Your interest in freaks The side show, the low life holds nothing for me Because, 'cause I have seen it Almost been it, and it's not my cup of thrills I got hired but I got tired of draining the pool for you I got tired but not so blue to see the cracks in you I got hired against my wish with better prospects after this After this I got hired I got tired I got hired After this Right after this Draining the pool Draining the pool Pool the pool After this After this After this
