Song for Billy Hurst ('25)

[Verse 1]

Might as well forget it

Your bird flew north and never landed in line

I put my faith in a cat or a mylar balloon

[Verse 2]

Don't your clothes feel heavy

Weighed down by secrets that were caught on the way

Heaven doesn’t want them

Now we're swimming in your alphabet rain

[Scatting]

[Verse 3]

From the courtesy phone

To the ticket counter where you wait

You were pulled aside by your coat

So you cause a scene and showed your teeth

[Scatting]

[Bridge]

I left my home and my plans

Got American Exprеss

I never had excusеs or the time

I hope you're doing just fine there in your daughter’s recital

She wouldn't even know me if I got up and died today

[Refrain]

Who's this guy with the cat?

Who's this guy with the cat?

Well can I leave a message with the future you

Skip the flowers and proposals from you-know-who

Try now, now to smile

Try now, now to smile
