When I looked out the window They're all laid on the grass Propped up on their elbows Basking like cats He was in the middle Holding court, talking with his hands Smoking like a chimney Stacking up the cans And I think he only phones me When he's full of drink What if he suddenly gets run over Before I get over myself? What if he accidentally Has a baby with somebody else? I often wonder if you'd come to my funeral If you'd be stood grief-stricken In a suit and tie A morbid thought I know, but Wish I could see it all From the comfort of a coffin But do I really have to die to see if you'd cry? What if he suddenly gets run over Before I get over myself? What if he accidentally Has a baby with somebody else? And I will see him soften His laughter lines will deepen He'll quit the booze and cigarettes And she'll be the reason Said he's no good at love, but I'll know he's wrong because I'll watch him What if he suddenly gets run over Before I get over myself? And what if he accidentally Has a baby with somebody else?
