This song picks up where Valerie leaves off. Early musical references inspired by Jimmy Buffet with the heart brake of falling for the wrong type of girl. Nice slow jazz brake for a bridge. Enjoy!

lyrics

Last time that I saw her was south of Tampa Bay
I turned around, she jumped the gun, I guess she ran away
I searched up in Alaska and down in New Orleans
But all I found was what she left me with... Instant Misery

Well, I went up to New York City just to get back in the craze
Low and behold I saw her hand in hand with Mr. USA
Well I followed them to a party they were holding at Elaine's
But when I tried to take her aside I found Instant Misery
Whoah, oh, lately I've been down
Whoah, oh, is there no hope to be found

Well I went to Atlantic City just to back in the haze
That's when I met another beautiful girl
I thought would put my mind at ease
But then I saw her kissing another girl in tight blue jeans
And though my mind went wild I fell out of the clouds back into
Instant Misery
Whoah, oh, lately I've been down
Whoah, oh, is there no hope to be found

Well I came back to Miami just to get back in the breeze
And do a little thinking underneath the cool palm trees
But the harder that I think about this sudden mystery
The more I'm sure there isn't a cure for Instant Misery
Oh the harder that I think about this sudden mystery
The more I'm sure there isn't a cure for Instant Misery
The more I'm sure there isn't a cure for Instant Misery

Whoah, oh, lately I've been down
Whoah, oh, is there no hope to be found
Whoah, oh, lately I've been down
Whoah, oh, is there no hope to be found
