Volunteer - Mark Geary[00:00:00]
My lover left me[00:00:27]
She left me too soon[00:00:29]
But I shouldn't blame her much[00:00:31]
But the state of my room[00:00:33]
I started stumbling and chasing the bells[00:00:36]
The metal straps upon my knees[00:00:40]
Made this sound when I fell[00:00:42]
And you heard those words from your piers[00:00:44]
I was just your volunteer[00:00:51]
I loved my Uncle Georgie[00:00:54]
Uncle Georgie's my friend[00:01:03]
He spent his life fishing[00:01:05]
Washing dishes weekends[00:01:07]
And I tried to say something sincere[00:01:10]
Sign me up I'll volunteer[00:01:16]
My father left me[00:01:27]
He left me too soon[00:01:29]
I thought he'd say something[00:01:31]
Before he waltzed from the room[00:01:33]
And all I remembered was my hands at my side[00:01:36]
The face of a woman who once was his bride[00:01:40]
And all I got left with was tears[00:01:45]
Seven lonely volunteers[00:01:51]
We look for Sister Mary[00:02:02]
Sister Mary's the pale[00:02:03]
She holds her head sometimes[00:02:06]
And walks close to the rail[00:02:08]
She sings on a Sunday[00:02:10]
And stands on the stairs[00:02:13]
She haunts me at night time[00:02:15]
When I've forgotten my prayers[00:02:17]
And we don't see much of her here[00:02:20]
A winter weary volunteer[00:02:27]
Oh how your life cuts me[00:02:37]
And rips through my bones[00:02:39]
We pretend that it's nothing[00:02:42]
When we're on the way home[00:02:44]
And I wish you'd abandoned me here[00:02:46]
So I can be a volunteer[00:02:53]
The captains need order[00:03:04]
It helps them stay sane[00:03:06]
The plumbers hate slaughter[00:03:08]
It f**ks up the drains[00:03:11]
And hard-hats must be worn at all[00:03:13]
Time on the site[00:03:15]
It don't make no difference[00:03:17]
If you're lost in the light[00:03:19]
The men here make last their career[00:03:22]
They don't talk to volunteers[00:03:29]
I thought you were dreaming so long[00:03:40]
Been listening for days[00:03:43]
The crime wave it hurts[00:03:44]
Even though it still pays[00:03:46]
And Babyface Mendoza[00:03:49]
And the Bruiser Mandrake[00:03:51]
Had a plan for re-election[00:03:53]
Using an old Jedi mind trick[00:03:55]
The Tappan Zee Bridge has grown ears[00:03:58]
To hear the drowning volunteers[00:04:06]
Yeah the Tappan Zee Bridge has grown ears[00:04:16]
I hear the drowning volunteers[00:04:23]
