Rather Watch Paint Dry

[Verse 1]
Ashtray's full
Phone is clean
Deleted every little ghost of what we used to be
Your sweater on my chair
Yeah
I burned that too
Needed something ugly just to match what you put me through
[Chorus]
I would rather watch paint dry
Than sit around and cry
Over you
Over you (hey!)
I need something new
Baby
Something loud
Something rude
Crazy
I would rather watch paint dry
Than waste one more night on you
[Verse 2]
You dial at 2 AM
Slurring out my name
Say you miss my chaos
You’re the one who lit the flame
Your lipstick on my sink
Yeah
I scrubbed that stain
If loving you’s a sickness
I’m enjoying being sane
[Chorus]
I would rather watch paint dry
Than sit around and cry
Over you
Over you (oh yeah)
I need something new
Baby
Something sharp
Something raw
Maybe
I would rather watch paint dry
Than waste one more night on you
[Bridge]
You said I’d crawl back
Said I’d beg for your touch
Look at me now
Babe
I don’t miss you that much
Got a busted old couch
And a clearer sky
I’m just fine watching colors slowly die
[Chorus]
I would rather watch paint dry
Than sit around and cry
Over you
Over you (hey!)
I need something new
Baby
Someone wild
Someone real
Maybe
I would rather watch paint dry
Than waste one more night on you
[Outro]
Yeah
I’d rather watch paint dry
Than ever be your fool again

rock, Sleazy, grimy bar-rock groove: overdriven guitars in a loose swing, trashy drums, bass walking and snarling. Male vocals half-sneer, half-laugh; verses stay close and conversational, choruses explode with gang shouts on key lines. Short, ripping guitar lick between sections and a final stop-time hit for attitude.
