lyrics

2 for 1
she
said to me today
she said
“I’m so smooth, drinks
On me—I just got paid”

And now she’s crying a bottle of vodka
And no she won’t stop
Singin up in my ear

I fell in love with a Georgia Strawberry

…yeah we always went for 2 for 1
…yeah we always went for 2 for 1
…yeah we always went for 2 for 1

I can hear the pills
Shakin’ all up in her purse
She said it calms me down
(Can I get a nurse!)

I just wanna be nice
But a sharp knife
Is the best friend
Of serial killers and housewives

Unzip my file
By the billiard table
A cheap photo
Shoot by the jukebox
One for the road
You know the barcode baby
But later I’ll watch you go home with another lady…

(Unzip my file
Stay for a while
Ember burns her pantyhose)

Unzip my file
Stay for a while
I’ll have one—light me up)

…yeah we always went for 2 for 1
…yeah we always went for 2 for 1
…yeah we always went for 2 for 1

If you got thick skin,
No one will know when you're ripe.
When you started this story
I just knew you were lying

Because that man you said that you loved
Is textin’ me now

Unzip my file
By the billiard table
A cheap photo
Shoot by the jukebox
One for the road
You know the barcode baby
But later I’ll watch you go home with another lady…

…but I’m glad I came for 2 for 1
…yeah I’m glad I came for 2 for 1
…yeah I’m glad I came for 2 for 1

about

Jay Thomas Miami, Florida

Jay Thomas writes sensual music with beats and string arrangements that evoke fantasy and escapism, while addressing grief, trauma, and human rights. His androgynous voice travels from gentle and soothing to coarse and raw in primal chants.

“Moody. Nostalgic. Dreamy. Fantasy-like.
In other words: hard to put in a box.”
- South Florida Gay News
