Half Life

歌詞

Sally came home today Didn't have a whole lot to say Just thumbed the St. Jude around her neck Took a drag off her cigarette Gary's still stuck at work Spilled a green juice on his shirt Steps outside for a little air Half listens to whoever's standing near Half a glass of wine And half a cigarette Half the truth And see how far you get For all of that struggle and all of that strife And your consolation prize: Half-life Sally gets herself into bed Takes half a pill to quiet her head Watches a little TV And drifts off into a half a sleep Half a husband Half a car Going half the distance Not getting very far Half-mother half-wife And your consolation prize: Half-life Gary gets home after dark Sits a while with his car in park Just daydreaming Smoking a little green Half the time a dad Half the time at work Half the time worrying Exactly what a soul is worth For all of that struggle and all of that strife Your consolation prize: Half-life Half-baked plans Half-hearted dreams Half the time wondering Exactly what it means You hurry going nowhere Time cuts you like a knife And your consolation prize: Oh half life Sally came home today
