lyrics

She was the first to go all the way
That badge can bear a heavy weight
She loved all the attention from the boys across the camp
'Til a counselor played "Lady is a Tramp"
Another bastard of the oldest double standard
Still, she won't begrudge a Summer love

The cashier held up both her hands
The gun stuck squarely in her abdomen
And when he pulled the trigger, like a tickle from her past,
She recalled falling in leaves she'd just raked with her dad
In the swerving, yearning ambulance she smiled at the prospect
That maybe - just maybe - she'd see him yet

The mistress took his wife out for drinks
To see what kind of girl he'd keep
She was younger, she was taller, with a classic cinema beauty
But it turns out she's no lawyer, just a legal secretary
She left with her head up, with her glass half full of bourbon
And took a crooked step into the Sunset

Half Full
Half Full
