Lake Street Dive - Promises, Promises lyrics

I've already had a running with an ice pick
and an austrian doctor
visited nightly by the gin genie
and support groups
cause I already socked her

I never promised a rose parade
I never promised a roll in the hay
I never promised your name tattooed
I never promised that I'd love you.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Avoided the picture of future lives of my neighbors and their subsequent offspring

Been sitting by the wayside while they laugh at me and my pilly old stockings

I never promised a rain delay
I never promised that you'd get your way
I never promised a t-bird for two
I never promised that I'd love you.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. (x6)
