True story.
REGISTERED NURSE.
Hey, hey. When I first met her,
I thought “just another real drunk woman at home”
Then I looked around and on every shelf,
Was a little statue or something she made by her-self.
Then I thought, “ooh, I’ve been too drunk too”,
but I’m just as real as I can be by Monday
And I know she has a job;
she must get real sometimes.
The proof was hanging on her walls
She must be someone.
Didn’t think she was rich
in a money way.
Even though she slurred it, she had something to say.
It was St. Patrick’s Day night; so she had every right.
And she’d be just as real as she can be by Monday
At least by Tuesday afternoon.
She must get real sometimes.
She’s a registered nurse.
She must be someone.
She is clearly not beyond tears.
She’s an artist, and fairly unclear.
No savior complex here,
She’s Picasso and Vodka and fear
And I know she has a job,
she must get real sometime.
She’s a registered nurse
I don’t know how you work,
I just know what you do.
I know we’ve got friends in common, they know me they know you
And we’ll get reintroduced, maybe a Wednesday night
And we’ll be just as real as we can be by Thursday
And I know you have a job
Maybe Friday
And you know I have a job
It gets too real sometimes,
Oh, my Registered Nurse, you must be someone
