The bar closes early on the Sabbath day
So
me and my kid we hit the park to play
Then
it'd start to rain so we'd walk home again
He asked why he was born
I don't know
what to say
I don't feel guilty and
I don't feel sad
This mother fucking life
is the best he's had
I said I've been there
sonny and it ain't that bad
I took my hits
from the shits back when I was a lad
So long ago and even though I tried
I
couldn't make him see the life he had cast in
front of me
And even though I cried I
couldn't make him be the very thing I needed
His mother'd make a scene when I come
home late
She look like she's dying but
she's twenty eight
I never loved that whore
I never will no more
Except for a month
back in '84
The jam was playing and my
heart stood still gazing at a shadow on the
window sill
So long ago and even
though I tried I couldn't make her see I wasn't
quite the man she thought I'd be
And even
though I cried I couldn't make her be the very
thing I needed
And even though I
tried I couldn't make her see I wasn't quite the
man she thought I'd be
And even though I
cried I couldn't make her be the very thing I
needed
Could she be the very thing I
needed?
Could she be the very thing
the very thing
Push yourself away
from your one best friend
Who's going to
love you when you reach the end?
Who
will?
Who will?
Who will?
