Old 97's - Barrier Reef lyrics

The empty bottle was half empty, tide was low, and i was thirsty. Saw her sitting at the bar, you know how some girls are, Always making eyes, well she wasn't making eyes. So i sidled up beside her, settled down and shouted, "hi there." "my name's stewart ransom miller, i'm a serial lady-k**er." She said, "i'm already dead," that's exactly what she said. So we tripped the lights fantastic, we was both made of elastic. Midnight came and midnight went, and i though i was the president. She said, "do you have a car," and i said, "do i have a car?" What's so great about the barrier reef? What's so fine about art? What's so good about a good times van, When you're working on a broken, Working on a broken, Working on a broken man? My heart wasn't in it, not for one single minute. I went through the motions with her. her on top, and me on liquor. Didn't do no good, well i didn't think it would. What's so great about the barrier reef? What's so fine about art? What's so good about a good times van, When you're working on a broken, Working on a broken, Working on a broken man? When you're working on a broken, Working on a broken, Working on a broken man. When you're working on a broken, Working on a broken, Working on a broken man.
