Carolyn Mark - Too Many Pills lyrics

[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
