lyrics

All of the crows feet tell a story
Let's float down the cracks in a sinking boat
Your mother went out in a blaze of glory
her cigarette fell on a sleeping coat

If she had a dream just like so many
Then nobody knew what it really was
And they never tried because they were busy
The answer to "why?" is always "because."

And you wanna be like that someday
You wanna be like that

I woke up today and I was grateful
But only because I said I was
If you need some lies I've got a state full
I'll donate a couple to the cause

How come you're a rock and we've just had it?
You became an M.D. in the 7th grade
But you stand amazed we don't know you're static
'cause all you wanted to be was a dairymaid

The powers that be took the century off
To tend to themselves and the mess they've made
So one finished all of his eight ball comics
And the other learned how to can marmalade

Dishwashers in hell never see a clean plate
We can't finish the job like we hoped or thought
It's like slapping the hand of a death row inmate
Or clipping the wings of an albatross
