With some help from Johnny Walker Red.
Send the poison rain down the drain
To put bad thoughts in my head.
Two tickets torn in half
And a lot of nothing to do.
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
like you say you do?
A man in the park
Read the lines in my hand.
Told me i'm strong,
I'm hardly ever wrong,
I said man, you mean you.
I had plans for both of us
That involved a trip out of town
To a place I've seen in a magazine
That you left lying around.
I don't have you with me but
I keep a good attitude.
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
Like you say you do?
I know you'd rather see me gone
Than you'd see me the way that I am
But i am in the life anyway.
Next door the tv's flashing
Blue frames on the wall.
It's a comedy of errors, you see
It's about taking a fall.
To vanish into oblivion
Is easy to do.
And I try to be but you know me
I come back when you want me to
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
Like you say you do?
