Duck And Cover |
| Someone’s in the backyard banging on the door |
| Daddy’s gone away, he’s coming back no more |
| His baby’s curled up on a stranger’s floor |
| Momma’s thinking family dinners weren’t too much to ask for |
| Everybody here’s got a story to tell |
| Everybody’s been through their own hell |
| There’s nothing too special about getting hurt |
| But getting over it, that takes the work |
| One way or the other we’ll all need each other |
| Nothing’s gonna turn out the way you thought it would |
| Friends and lovers, don’t you duck and cover |
| Cause everything comes out the way it should |
| Blessed are the humble, blessed are the meek |
| Blessed are the hungry, blessed are the weak |
| Blessed are the ones on the other side |
| And blessed are we just for being alive |
| One day I stopped wanting anything at all |
| The heavens opened up like a waterfall |
| No use in worrying about when it ends |
| Just for now be thankful for what I get |
| One way or another a man’s gonna suffer |
| Makes no difference the way you wanted it But friends and lovers, don’t you duck and cover |
| Cause everything comes out the way it should in the end |
| Seems like life is a palindrome |
| Cry when you die, cry when you’re born |
| In between it’s all about the ups and downs |
| Add them all together, they’ll cancel each other out |
| One way or another, one way or another |
| You won’t get what you wanted, but you’ll get enough for sure |
| One way or another, the winter pays for the summer |
| Won’t get what you wanted, but what you got’ll be good |
| Someone’s in the backyard banging on the door |
| Daddy’s gone away, he’s coming back no more |
| His baby’s curled up on a stranger’s floor |
| Momma’s thinking happy endings weren’t too much to ask for |
