lyrics

KISS OF OR COME ON
(words & music by Nate Butler)
It’s too late to buy booze and you might lose
But I’m not goin’ home
It’s not the blues if I’m not the dude she chooses, but I can’t be alone
Tell you how, If you’re ever down, I’ll show you the town
Hand-me-down, weathered class clown
The other guy talked better -- “Bye, bye, bye, good night!”

Would a strong man shake it out of them?
Or bury it with booze?
Or should the class clown cry and let them all down?
Then who’d be getting whose?
Let them kiss some unfamiliar clown?
When it gets down, come down
Come down, down, down, down
The other guy gets to kiss her – bye, bye, bye!
Get high!

Kiss off or come on, come on or kiss off or come on,
Come on or kiss off or come on, come on or kiss off or come on, come on
Kiss off or come on, come on or kiss off or come on,
Come on or kiss off or come on, come on or kiss off or come on, come on
There’s not a limit to the effort that it takes
But I’ve called in sick to work, and lied to my best friend, for chrissakes!

I can’t read women, but they can’t read me
Guess that’s a fair exchange
They’ll put me up and then they’ll bring it all down
And start behavin’ strange
Let me stay, and try another way of getting away from her gaze
The maze she made
… Oh dammit, here comes another of life’s loveless long nights!
Just tell me what’s on your mind!
Kiss off, or come on, but don’t just laugh
Kiss off, or come on, but don’t just laugh
