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
