The kids get drunk, the kids get sad They start telling stories that they didn't even know they had And me? I always leave early so this is just what I hear The kids in the back are just up in arms That saying the same thing won't get 'em any new reaction And we just need to stop now And change our rhythms to match up again I keep getting all of your letters and they just look good in print That guy from work - he is a friend of mine He likes the 5/8 time he likes a 5th a night, it makes him feel alright And I'd choose murder over heart attack I can't take the news, I can't face the fact that This is all that I've really even ever had It's easier to just swim under the bridge Than to stand right up and walk over it Then I rolled over and looked straight up And saw there was no bridge And that water dried right up So I think we need to stop now And change our rhythms to match up again I keep getting all of your letters and they just look good in print
