Expect the Unexpected

Lyrics

I was not supposed to lose a friend or cling to a woman What shouldn't happen happens, and it happens quite often You meet a stranger here once, and you meet them some other time there You change your style completely on the very day that you do not care So it's gonna be "Farewell, my lovely" I've no idea where the hell I'm a-gonna be So it's gonna be Blues and Booze in the morning And if I'm lucky, maybe fine cut skirts and distant teasing Some day they'll find my body, black and blue in the West Coast kelp Well, I've been trying to sleep more often but even bourbon doesn't help But when I'm dead, dead, you'll be the one to mourn for me You'll empty the freezer and throw my ashes back into the sea For now it's gonna be "Farewell, my lovely" I've no idea where the hell I'm a-gonna be So it's gonna be Blues and Booze in the morning And if I'm lucky, maybe fine cut skirts and distant teasing
