Martinis On The Roof

Superchunk · Indoor Living [1997]

You left a cooler

at out house one night.

So we're keeping it full of ice.

On your advice.

Blue ribbons and red wine

You know it's hard to find the right line



That does justice to the crime

Now the justice has declined

To take the stand this time

Well all the wasted space is mine

Yeah I hardly have the right to sing about it



(Chorus)

Trick night and Halloween

An April Fool's bad dream

Cigar smoke over the moon

And you were leaving way too soon

Cheeto's and a hundred proof

Martinis on the roof

Cheeto's and a hundred proof

Martinis on the roof

And you were leaving too soon



You caught every book they threw

At you and your single malt recruits

With a Pipe shirt over your suit

Now the judges they love you too



And now we're crying in the house

Watching basketball on the couch

And we're trying to work it out

Yeah we're all trying to work it out

But you would not have us pout

Or sing about it



(Chorus)



Yeah you left too soon
