Getting Late

lyrics

8. getting late

so your father’s singing hound dog and the crowd goes wild
spilling drinks, raising them right up to the rafters.

and you grab your keys to leave you say
“i gotta get going pretty soon i still got dinner and calls to make.”

but you’re drawing in the drink rings of another chipping tabletop that won’t sit still you swear there’s no flat floor any more.

and you squint across the street you say
“ah fuck, i remember that block way back before it wound up looking that way.”

and i gotta get going soon. it’s not that bad it’s just late.
i gotta get going soon. it’s not that bad but it sure is getting late and the things that get worse in the morning sometimes won’t wait.

the turning signal’s click keeps time with the beat of your breath. driving home reluctantly–man, you know you shouldn’t have.

and i gotta get going soon. it’s not that bad it’s just late.
i gotta get going soon. it’s not that bad but it sure is getting late and the things that get worse in the morning sometimes won’t wait.
