A Lifeboat

If envy was tequila

And jealousy strong beer

We could throw a party

That would last throughout the year

If envy was a lifeboat

And jealousy its oar

We could brave the tempest

And safely row a-shore

'Cause your face is flushed

And your eyes are bloodshot red

You can't take it on your own

So you take a stranger home instead

Don't you know the road gets restless

Spending all those nights alone

'Til I make my way back to you

Waiting faithfully at home

Now you break out in a sweat

You swallow your throat dry

You come down with a fever

Caught living in a lie

Now your face is flushed

And your eyes are bloodshot red

You can't take it on your own

So you take a stranger home instead

Your clothes they smell of perfume

Your lips are stained with wine

Why'd you give yourself away

When you know that you are mine
