Miss Misery [Early Version]

I'll fake it through the day
With some help from Johnnie Walker Red
And the cold pain behind my eyes
That shoots back through my head

With two tickets torn in half
And a lot of nothing to do
But it's alright
'Cause some enchanted night
I'll be with you

Tarot cards and the lines in my hand tell me I'm wrong but they're untrue

Got plans for both of us
That involved a trip out of town
To a place I've seen
In a magazine
That you left lying around

I can't hold my liquor
But I keep a good attitude
'Cause it's alright
Some enchanted night
I'll be with you

And though you'd rather see me gone
Than to see there come the day
I'll be waiting for you anyway

Next door the TV's flashing blue frames on the wall
It's a comedy
From the seventies
With a lead no one recalls

Vanished into oblivion
It's easy to do
And I cried a sea
When you talked to me
The day you said we were through

But it's alright
Some enchanted night
I'll be with you
