Missing Person lyrics

[Verse]
I am lipsticked like a tart
In the cherry red of Côtes-du-Rhône
Prodding at the little fire of my phone
The lights behind the bar
Twinkle like they've always known
Only desperate little men ever drink alone

[Chorus]
But as long as I'm here
I'm disappeared and it's vanishing
I'm a missing person doing my thing

[Verse]
As midnight strikes
I slip into this queen of dives
And quietly oblivion like sleep arrives
But I couldn't live without
This sewer of a place to be
Alone with my onе obsession - me, me, mе
Yeah, I can hear you remonstrate
You fool, that's three

[Chorus]
What I'm doing here
Ain't drinking beer, it's vanishing
I'm a missing person doing my thing
Just a missing person doing my thing
[Bridge]
Missing the time I threw your crutch away
And ruined a perfect day
Now it’s all ruins from here to daybreak

[Verse]
So I hang on to my chair
In this fish tank of sinking stars
Pickling their memories in Mason jars
I head out for a smoke
Leave your ghost there to hold my place
And line up with the other cheaters in disgrace
Like runners in exile
From the human race

[Chorus]
But as long as I'm here
This last brutal year is vanishing
I’m a missing person doing my thing
Just a missing person doing my thing
