Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alex, short and sweet
Leave your boyfriend at home
And the drinks are on me next week
He seems like a real good guy
But you're only as good as your last goodbye
[Verse 2]
Alex, let your long hair down
Like the prettiest brush
You could ever use to paint this town
'Cause you know as well as I do
That we're only as good as our last goodbye
[Verse 3]
What will we do, where will we go?
Alexandra, I don't really know
When will it end?
Whenever you want it to
[Verse 4]
Alex, to your health
May you never grow out of the need to outdo yourself
And heed not the jealous cry
Of a sittin' duck stuck to his last goodbye
[Verse 5]
Skyward they flew till it was as far
To the street as it was to the stars
And to stardust as peanut shells
On the parlor floor
[Verse 6]
What have we done, where have we gone?
Nothing, above and beyond
When will it end?
Alexandra, it's already done
[Verse 7]
I told you, honey, short and sweet
It's a damn sight better than long and bitter
Don't you think?
Keep your feet wet and your eyes dry
'Cause you're only as good as your last goodbye
Oh, yeah, only as good as our last goodbye
