Last One At The Party – Bill Callahan

Last one at the party
You always said he had to go
Last one at the party
We thought he’d never leave

If you met him in the hallway
You just had to go toe to toe
Eyes like typewriters
Held all the poetry you’ll ever know

Last one at the party
He always said he had to go
Last one at the party
We thought he’d never leave

If you were a house fire
I’d go back in for the cat

Last one at the party
He always said he had to go
Last one at the party
We thought he’d never leave
