Telescope |
He watched the Bronco leave the driveway |
The day after he turned ten |
His dad said 'The band’s booked up through Sunday' |
Ricky never saw him again |
His mother made excuses |
His brother got his wish |
Ricky just stared at the posters in his bedroom |
And started talkin' to his fish |
And whenever he thought he could untie these knots |
He didn’t get too far |
The stronger the telescope |
The more stars there are |
There were reports within the family |
There were rumors at his school |
Deadbeat dad got stuck in Calgary |
Cleaning swimming pools |
But Ricky had some questions |
He couldn’t get it through his head |
How a father so drunk on his own destiny |
Could end up like this instead |
The boy could feel himself get older |
With each shot in the dark |
The stronger the telescope |
The more stars there are |
The stronger the telescope |
The more stars there are |
Now Ricky’s in a trailer outside Albany |
He spends all his nights alone |
With a penchant for conspiracy |
And his take-home methadone |
But he hasn’t been forgotten |
His hometown speculates |
If the world had just got to him too early |
Or if it got to him too late |
And the more time they give each explanation |
The more it comes apart |
The stronger the telescope |
The more stars there are |
The stronger the telescope |
The more stars there are |
The more stars there are |
The more stars there are |
