Cinco De Mayo

Liz Phair


Cinco de Mayo. 
Blow out, denial. 
It wasn't fun this time, letting you go.
What if I never, a bullet forever, 
Held out my hand to you, we wouldn't have known 
Beautiful flow, 
Absolute measure, I ain't no pleasure hound
Bus' out of control, plowing the road. 
Out on a bender, just Alice falling down 
A deepening hole.
I'd never been to Rome until you smiled.
You're about as old and piled.
I used to pray for snow...
Now I just wonder what spell I was under, 
Thinking you thought of me as 
Something to hold.
I'd never been to Rome until you smiled.
You're about as old and piled.
Cinco de Mayo. 
Burn-out, Ohio. 
It wasn't me this time, letting you go.
