"We Might As Well Be Strangers" lyrics

Happy birthday, thanks for the Valium
And thank you for the stack of dirty magazines
We lounged around, debated Nietzsche
I was too obtuse to get how much I need ya

Parasitic fishes down in the sea
Now we're history

We might as well be strangers, uh-huh
Something came along and changed us, uh-huh
I was Nancy, you were vicious, uh-huh
Now I'm not sure I even miss us, uh-huh
If I sang you a song
Would you still sing along?
We might as well be strangers, uh-huh
Something came along and changed us, uh-huh

Every night's your birthday, got shows back to back
Excuse to celebrate a brighter, lighter, a louder stack
Hand on the burner, cracking the skull
Is it still hedonism if you're feeling miserable?

Don't want your songs to become the clues
To why we lost you

We might as well be strangers, uh-huh
Something came along and changed us, uh-huh
I was Nancy, you were vicious, uh-huh
Now I'm not sure I even miss us, uh-huh
If I sang you a song
Would you still sing along?
We might as well be strangers, uh-huh
Something came along and changed us, uh-huh

You tried to phone me up
I tried to write you once
But there was nothing to say
So I threw the page away

We might as well be strangers, uh-huh
Something came along and changed us, uh-huh
I was Nancy, you were vicious, uh-huh
Now I'm not sure I even miss us, uh-huh
If I sang you a song
Would you still sing along?
We might as well be strangers, uh-huh
Something came along and changed us, uh-huh
