| 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
|
| And change our rhythms to match up again
|
| I keep getting all of your letters and they just look good in print |
