[Spoken Intro: Carolyn Mark]
This is about the untimely pa**ing of Miss Neko's first husband, Carl Sr. It's a story, you'll hear it
[Neko Case]
I can't sing it myself, it makes me break down
[Chorus: Carolyn Mark & Neko Case]
Too many pills on too dark a night
You know I'd do anything to take back that fight
Even though I was right
You had no right to be drivin' that night
[Verse 1: Carolyn Mark]
With a mixture of feelings I gave you the keys
To the family car, the black LTD
I had little choice, what with your boomin' voice
And the fact that you were so much larger than me
[Chorus: Carolyn Mark & Neko Case]
Too many pills on too dark a night
You know I'd do anything to take back that fight
Even though I was right
You had no right to be drivin' that night
[Verse 2: Carolyn Mark]
Well, I found the empty pill bottles
Oh, and the other bottles too
I'd have to hide them from the children
Little Lester, age one, and Carl Jr., age two
I said this to you, and was later proved right
You'd had too many pills on too dark a night
[Chorus: Carolyn Mark & Neko Case]
Too many pills on too dark a night
You know I'd do anything to take back that fight
Even though I was right
You had no right to be drivin' that night
[Verse 3: Carolyn Mark]
I woke up at dawn to find you still gone
Till the man on the radio, guess I'd left it on
He spoke of a wreck down on old Highway 3
And only a smoking shell did remain from a black LTD
[Chorus: Carolyn Mark & Neko Case]
Too many pills on too dark a night
You know I'd do anything to take back that fight
Even though I was right
You had no right to be drivin' that night
You had no right to be drivin'
You had no right to be drivin'
You had no right to be drivin' that night
