Father Couldn’t Break It To You
It was 2004 beneath a tall streetlight
A car ran you down
You never made it through the night
You’re father couldn’t break it to you
You’re mother couldn’t stand to look
At you
Tied
To a bed
Like an experimental joke
For the dead
And you
You laughed
Said nurse
Give me a bath
It was 2004 beneath a tall streetlight
A car ran you down
You never made it through the night
You’re father couldn’t break it to you
You’re mother couldn’t stand beside you
Green
Gold
Leaves
Touch the sky
And you
You can’t grow up
Haven’t you noticed
This much
It was 2004 beneath a tall streetlight
A car ran you down
You never made it through the night
Your father couldn’t break it to you
Your mother couldn’t stand beside you
Tied
To a bed
Like an experimental joke
For the dead
And you
You still laugh
And say Nurse
How about that
Bath
It was 2004 beneath a tall streetlight
A beemer ran you down
You never made it through the night
It’s about time somebody tell you
It’s about time somebody tell you
It’s about time somebody tell you… you didn’t make it that night.
you didn’t make it that night.
you didn’t make it that night.
