Caught Without An Umbrella |
Memories come down and me once again |
caught without an umbrella |
memories come down and me once again |
caught without an umbrella |
Well it was not -that he was particularly |
suicidal he just didn’t care wether he lived or died though |
it was just a matter of time |
you got yours and I got mine |
when he turned sixteen |
they said he could drive |
when he turned eighteen they said he could die |
when he turned twenty one he could buy rum |
but no one ever taught him |
how things were done |
then an angel appeared inside his head |
she said boy do you think |
you’re realty better off dead |
he don’t know he just shook his heed |
'Cause he thought the day that he died |
would be a normal day for the people on the other side |
He thought that the day that he died |
would be a normal day for the people on the other side |
but memories come down and me once again |
caught without an umbrella |
But time was a matter of velocity |
in this age of information and technology |
he would cry in the shower |
put his face in a towel hot from the dryer |
then he sat down and wrote a note to his mom |
when all is said and done |
can I still be your son |
because manhood is so elusive |
and respect is so exclusive |
and I got a daddy to prove it I think I’ll never get to shake it and move |
then he tied a rope around his neck |
looked in the mirror and said what the heck |
I’m gonna bring the whole roof down with me and then he jumped |
Come in Vernon' |
But halt way down |
he heard what the angel said |
and he realized -he really didn’t want to be dead |
he landed with a thump- his head was reeling |
layin in a lump- looked up at the ceiling |
and saw that the rope… had broke |
well he failed at the only thing |
that he thought he couldn’t fail at that was takin’his own life |
and he said I kinda like livin' |
he could feel his heart makin a boom |
sounded like music in the next room |
music in the next room |
he said it’s time for a celebration |
felt his hands looked at his face |
lifted the rope off his throat, I ain’t such a disgrace. |
he said manhood is so elusive and respect is so exclusive |
and I gotta daddy to prove, that some people never get to shake it and move. |
And He knew that the day that he tried |
was not a normal day for the people |
And memories come down and me once again |
am caught without an umbrella |
