Reconstruction Site - The Weakerthans[00:00:00]
I'm lost I'm afraid[00:00:21]
A frayed rope tying down a leaky boat[00:00:24]
To the roof of a car on the road in the dark[00:00:26]
And it's snowing[00:00:29]
If I'm more then it means less[00:00:31]
Last call for happiness[00:00:35]
I'm your dress near the back of your knees[00:00:37]
And your slip is showing[00:00:39]
I'm afloat[00:00:42]
Afloat in a summer parade[00:00:43]
Up the street in the town that you were born in[00:00:46]
With a girl at the top wearing tulle[00:00:53]
And a Miss Somewhere sash[00:00:57]
Waving like the queen[00:01:00]
Beauty's just another word[00:01:04]
I'm never certain how to spell[00:01:07]
Go tell the nurse to turn the TV back on[00:01:09]
And throw away my misery[00:01:15]
It never meant that much to me[00:01:18]
It never sent a 'Get Well' card[00:01:20]
I broke like a bad joke somebody's uncle told[00:01:35]
At a wedding reception in 1972[00:01:40]
Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair[00:01:46]
Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed[00:01:51]
And his father laughed and talked on the long ride home[00:01:56]
And his mother laughed and talked on the long ride home[00:02:02]
And he thought about how everyone dies someday[00:02:07]
And when tomorrow gets here where will yesterday be [00:02:13]
And fell asleep in his brand-new winter coat[00:02:18]
Buy me a shiny new machine that runs on lies and gasoline[00:02:24]
And all those batteries we stole from smoke-alarms[00:02:30]
And disassembles my despair[00:02:35]
It never took me anywhere[00:02:38]
It never once bought me a drink[00:02:40]
