Gary's Song
Gary, tell me why the leaves on the treesAre falling as early as the springWhy the leaves on the trees that are falling on usAre like the words to the songI've lived my whole life to singIf you swim too much you'll drownIf we sit here and drink enough beerWe'll be two inflatable dolls in a hooker's bad dreamWhen the storm reaches us we'll be two blind drunksWho've absorbed through the skina whole lifetime of keroseneIf you drink too much you will drownAnd the shame of my life is watching youGary, I think we've worn out our welcomeThey're waiting for us to leaveGary, they've got a new kind of personA newer, stronger, cleaner breedAnd I think I just came in my pantsOh baby, do you want to dance?Everything collapses here, slow motionSongtexteAnd the roots of the dance and the stain in my pantsAre beyond any small man's conceptionIf you drink too much you will drownAnd the shame of my life is watching you drown
