Bang The Doldrums

by Ryan Ross

[Verse 1]
I wrote a goodbye note in lipstick on your arm
When you passed out
I couldn't bring myself to call
Except to call it quits

[Chorus]
Best friends
Ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers
And not the other way around
Racing through the city
Windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars

[Refrain]
Yo ho ho
Oh ho ho
Yo ho ho
Oh ho ho

(This city says...)

[Verse 2]
Come hell or high water
Well, I'm feeling hot and wet
I can't commit to a thing
Be it heart or hospital

[Chorus]
Best friends
Ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers
And not the other way around
Racing through the city
Windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars

[Refrain]
Yo ho ho
Oh ho ho
Yo ho ho
Oh ho ho

[Breakdown]
The tombstones were waiting
They were half-engraved
They knew it was over
Just didn't know the date

[Bridge]
And I cast a spell over the west to make you think of me
The same way I think of you
This is a love song in my own way
Happily ever after below the waist

[Chorus]
Best friends
Ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers
Racing through the city
Windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars

[Refrain]
Yo ho ho
Oh ho ho
Yo ho ho
Oh ho ho

[Outro]
Best friends
Ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers
And not the other way around
Ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers
