A Lifeboat

If envy was tequila
 And jealousy strong beer
 We could throw a party
 That would last throughout the year
 If envy was a lifeboat
 And jealousy its oar
 We could brave the tempest
 And safely row a-shore
 'Cause your face is flushed
 And your eyes are bloodshot red
 You can't take it on your own
 So you take a stranger home instead
 Don't you know the road gets restless
 Spending all those nights alone
 'Til I make my way back to you
 Waiting faithfully at home
 Now you break out in a sweat
 You swallow your throat dry
 You come down with a fever
 Caught living in a lie
 Now your face is flushed
 And your eyes are bloodshot red
 You can't take it on your own
 So you take a stranger home instead
 Your clothes they smell of perfume
 Your lips are stained with wine
 Why'd you give yourself away
 When you know that you are mine
