Reconstruction Site (TV Version) - The Weakerthans[00:00:00]
Well I'm lost I'm a frayed[00:00:21]
Rope tying down a leaky boat[00:00:23]
To the roof of a car on a road in the dark[00:00:26]
And it's snowing[00:00:28]
If I'm more then it means less[00:00:31]
Last call for happiness[00:00:34]
I'm your dress near the back of your knees[00:00:36]
And your slip is showing[00:00:38]
I'm a float in a summer parade[00:00:41]
Up the street in the town[00:00:45]
That you were born in[00:00:48]
With a girl at the top wearing tulle[00:00:52]
And a Miss Somewhere sash [00:00:56]
Waving like the queen[00:00:59]
Well beauty's just another word[00:01:04]
I'm never certain how to spell[00:01:06]
Go tell the nurse to turn the TV back on[00:01:09]
And throw away my misery [00:01:14]
It never meant that much to me[00:01:17]
It never sent a get-well card[00:01:19]
And I broke like a bad joke[00:01:35]
Somebody's uncle told[00:01:38]
At a wedding reception in 1972[00:01:40]
Where a little boy under a table[00:01:45]
With cake in his hair[00:01:47]
Stared at the grown-up feet[00:01:50]
As they danced and swayed[00:01:52]
And his father laughed[00:01:56]
And talked on the long ride home[00:01:57]
And his mother laughed[00:02:02]
And talked on the long ride home[00:02:03]
And he thought about[00:02:07]
How everyone dies someday[00:02:08]
And when tomorrow gets here [00:02:13]
Where will yesterday be [00:02:16]
And fell asleep in his brand new winter coat[00:02:20]
Buy me a shiny new machine[00:02:26]
That runs on lies and gasoline[00:02:28]
And all those batteries we stole[00:02:31]
From smoke alarms[00:02:33]
And disassembles my despair [00:02:37]
It never took me anywhere[00:02:39]
It never once bought me a drink[00:02:42]
