The World According To Lionel

Hello Margaretta

You must be new in town
I've never seen your face around this place before
I drink here every night
I know each face that ever staggers out that door

And it's hard to handle
When you're staggering around
And it's hard to handle
When you're always coming down

Please won't you sit awhile
And talk to me and tell me of the things you've seen
I promise not to bother you
With stories of my past and all my broken dreams

And it's hard to handle
When you're staggering around
And it's hard to handle
When you're always coming down

Don't listen to what Harry says
He's talking through his hat
He's talking about us right now
Don't turn around
People think they know me here
But they don't know me here
They only see me hanging round

I came here years ago
I tried to make it work now I just don't know
I've got three little ones
They're living with their dad and I can't let them go

And it's hard to handle
When you're staggering around
And it's hard to handle
When you're always coming down

Don't listen to what Harry says
He's talking through his hat
He's talking about us right now
Don't turn around
People think they know me here
But they don't know me here
They only see me here

You must be new in town I've never seen your face around this place before
