The kids get drunk,
the kids get sad
they start telling stories that
they didn't even know they had.
And me? I always leave early
so this is just what I hear.
The kids in the back are just up in arms
that saying the same thing won't get 'em any new reaction.
And we just need to stop now
and change our rhythms to match up again.
I keep getting all of your letters
and they just look good in print.
That guy from work
he is a friend of mine.
He likes the 5/8 time
he likes a 5th a night,
it makes him feel alright.
And I'd choose murder over heart attack.
I can't take the news,
I can't face the fact
that this is all that I've really even ever had.
It's easier to just swim under the bridge
than to stand right up and walk over it.
Then I rolled over and looked straight up
and saw there was no bridge
and that water dried right up.
So I think we need to stop now, etc.
