The Naughty Little Rat Makes New Friends

off she went there i stayed.

staying drunk for a couple of days.

there were other girls,

friends of hers of course.

they circled like sharks and

fought like whores.

but when the one you love loves you no more

it don't matter who else might

it don't matter who else does.

and it sucks to be alone at a party.

so when it came time to move on the show

i let my machine take the call

and i let it go.

later, when the hurt cooled down

i went looking for the party

but it wasn't around.

people had heard of it

i found some people who'd left and

i found another girl i liked

looking up an old address.

but i never found that party,

never saw it again.

and i always find myself thinking about it.

wondering if it's still around

and if i would recognize it,

and what i might have been

like if i'd never been a part of it

it was just the best party,

the music was good

and the girls were pretty.

it was the kind of gig that

would shape your life

for years to come.

and if i never find that party

if maybe it's long been over and done,

if i never find that party,

i am going to throw you one.
