Cheer Up, Vera

"I'm pretty certain that she's gone this time"
Said Vera with a sigh
"I know I'll be alright while she's away
But she used to be a promise, when I was still a child
Til I lost her in the faucet in a way I can't describe
And I can't say
That I'm okay"

Cheer up, Vera
You can run until you're tired
Doesn't mean we can't get high
Cheer up, Vera
You can run and that's alright
Doesn't mean we can't get high

"I think I'll really be ashamed of myself
If I don't leave you all behind
The romance of it died and I'm to blame
But she used to seem so lawless
So cool and serpentine
She used to be my goddess
All sugar candy lines
And I can't say
That I'm okay"

Cheer up, Vera
You can run until you're tired
Doesn't mean we can't get high
Cheer up, Vera
You can run and that's alright
Doesn't mean we can't get high

"And she used to be my father
Now he's just lost his mind
She used to be in lovers
Their velvety insides
And she used to let me touch her
And she held me when I cried
And I can't say
Oh that I'm okay"

Cheer up, Vera
You can run until you're tired
Doesn't mean we can't get high
Cheer up, Vera
You can run while there's still time
Doesn't mean we can't get high
