i think it's morning
light burns through my still closed eyes
my head is throbbing
and i think the cat
slept in my mouth
it's awfully fuzzy feeling

i'm awfully fuzzy feeling

i try to resurrect the night before
it's like the evolutionary chain in reverse
i started on my feet, upright
and ended here
knuckles dragging on the floor
making guttural noises
the tequila has run off with everything
that happened after ten o'clock again
Jose Cuervo is a sneaky bastard
and a thief
he probably has that missing link
everyone is looking for

i bolster the courage to crack an eye to the light
looking around the hole burned in my retina
by it's laser beam intensity
i am somewhat relieved to find myself
in my own bed
we're not finished yet though
one more hurdle to jump
on second thought, no jumping
we're just going to crawl under it for a look
i snake my hand across the bed
patting gently, searching
nothing there but crumpled sheets
a small sigh of gratitude
if Jose brought anyone home with us
at least he took them when he left

several millennium later
evolution has worked it's magic
and i'm semi erect again
it's time to assess the damage
add up the cost of the night before
i have my purse
my coat and shoes
there's my jeans
my bra is hanging from the bathroom door
uh oh, this can't be good
no panties...

Do you think there's any chance
Jose gave them to the missing link?
