Biography:
Simon Joyner (born 1971) is an American singer-songwriter. As well as his solo work, he has collaborated with a number of artists including John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats.
Joyner was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, but lived in Omaha, Nebraska most of his life. The geography, mythology, and personal connection to both the South and the Midwest act as shadow characters throughout his large body of work–swallowing some characters, emboldening others, always reminding us that place is much more than mere scenery.

He called his best friend long distance and told him the news
A E
Of his girlfriend's attempted suicide by overdose
A D
He hadn't taken her to the emergency room but her roommates did
A E A
And her stomach was pumped bone dry through a tube
D A
It only cost her one thousand dollars in bills
D E
And an obligatory psychological review
A
And she stopped crying in her sleep
D7
And she stopped walking in her sleep
A E A
And she stopped sleeping in her sleep too

And she said I'm gonna write your name on the walls

Stay away from this man
Stay away from this man
A D E
Stay away from this man
He'll make you swallow aspirin
A D
So she fell in love with a loser who robbed used and bruised her
And those were just the salad days
After that a habitual clean up with pesto-bismol and prozac
She even got a job as a washing machine
And he still calls his friend long distance
And speaks of his various girlfriends
But there's never really much different to tell
Eventually they stop crying in their sleep
They stopped walking in her sleep
And they stopped sleeping in her sleep as well
And they write his name on the walls
And they carve his name in the stalls
And they write his name on the walls
And they carve his name in the stalls
Stay away from this man
Stay away from this man
Stay away from this man
And then they pick him up in bars and in public parks
And then they pick him up in bars, in grocery stores and coffee shops
And then he tears through their legs to reach their heart
Through their legs to get their heart
Through their legs to steal their heart again
And it's a headache
And so they take
A little aspirin
