Half Life

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 (Half life) [Verse 3] Sally gets herself into bed Takes half a pill to quiet her head Watches a little TV Drifts off in a half a sleep [Chorus] Half a husband And half a car Going half the distancе Not getting very far Half mother, half wifе And your consolation prize Half life (Half life) [Verse 4] Gary gets home after dark Sits a while with his car in park Just daydreamin' Smoking a little green [Chorus] Half the time a dad Half the time at work Half the time worryin' Exactly what a soul is worth For all of that struggle And all of that strife Your consolation prize Half life [Chorus] Half baked plans And half hearted dreams Half the time wonderin' Exactly what it means You hurry goin' nowhere Time cuts you like a knife And your consolation prize Oh, half life (Half life) (Half life) [Outro] Sally came home today
